Ask yourself: Why was Boston College's Defense so dominant?

[BALLHAWKU]

Just one of many left hook threads where he trolls UM Fans. Seriously get this ****** off the board before starts up again with this ****.

Mark Richt Defensive Staff?


Richt was there before all but Spurrier and he left soon after Richt arrived.

Richt had a head start and still got his **** pushed in on the regular!

Dude Shut Up! You are a Got **** Mark Richt Apologist!

MR has been choking games away for a long time.....

Homey, Richt needs to prove that he is something other than a Choke Artist.


Richt is major Under-Achiever. I don't expect him to be any different at UM.

Never hire a pastor to lead your football program........too concerned with saving souls.

UGA became a better place without Mark Richt!

The guy isn't a troll , he been on these boards for long time . He just don't like golden and tells you how it is . Alumni is my guess

It probably has something to do with their horrific scheduling. Maybe you should look a little further into the stats before you embarrass yourself hooker. I know your shtick from your trolling days on 247 sports.

We have an entire defensive unit that is true freshmen. The entire unit. You sprinkle in a true freshman on a unit here or there and a lot of times that's ok. Especially if there are experienced veterans filling out the unit to help guide the youngsters and cover for mistakes. We don't have that at lb. These guys may be athletic, they may be talented, but they lack experience. They will make mistakes. They will be fooled by the offense. They will fill the wrong gap. They'll take a bad angle. They'll blow an assignment. This isn't being a naysayer, this isn't making excuses, this is reality. These freshmen lbs will also make some great plays this year and I have no doubt they'll be really really good next year and beyond. But make no mistake, there will be some bumps along the way this year as they learn and gain experience on this level.

You are absolutely correct, but then again our defenses have taken bad angles, blown assignments, and nobody's hit a gap in years. Dallas Crawford anyone? Point being, This young, thin team will be hard pressed to do any worse than a Doritos defense.

As it's already been said, BC's Defense was a result of Don Brown being one of the best Defensive Coordinators in the country & having a fairly weak schedule.
Don Brown's off to Michigan now, so we can pretty much guarantee BC won't look half as good as they did last season.

But, the one thing we can glean from your example is the fact that they're not loaded with talent but were excellent in stopping the run.

The key to our Defense this season will be improvement vs the run game & way more pressure on the QB.
Both of those tasks should be easily achievable with Dorito gone.

What I'm curious to know is what did Don Brown do specifically in terms of scheme to stop the run so effectively? We know it wasn't great talent although they did play some very poor competition.

 

[supacane]

Look our defense will be better by scheme and coaching alone. But if you're expecting a great defense with three true freshman linebackers, low depth at DB, and a third choice at DE, then you're going to be disappointed. However, this will still be a better defense the D'nofrio ever came close to so we'll be able to win. Still think it's a Top 50 defense and we haven't sniffed that in years. (besides some selective stats)

Top 50.....do u know how many horrible programs there are even when their team is filled with SRs. I dont know about total defense but we better be great at somethings

Look, I don't know you, Lady. But I noticed how you conveniently left Florida State off that list. I guess you didn't want people to know what Boston College's defense did to Dalvin cook. Oh, did I mention they knocked him out of the game.

Lol and Clemson!

They played Clemson as well. They put up 50 on us at home.

Here's some really good info on it: How Boston College built a top 5 defense - Football Study Hall

They run a 4-3 and rely heavily on the front 4, plus run quite a bit of Zone Blitzes & bring pressure with their Safety's.
They actually do a lot of things that we want to do with our Defense this year, they're just more fine tuned at it, because they've been running it since 2012.

 

[bear]

Why all this fighting? OP's point is quite simple to understand:

A great coordinator can help this D get over the hump and perhaps much more.

If Diaz was good enough for CMR he is good enough for me.

Pretty simple point OP is making which I find hard to refute.

I think we'll actually do more than that in terms of formations and packages.

Absolutely we will, but it's similar concepts and done from within the same base Defense is the point.

 

[canesthing3]

I appreciate your intentions but all this did was bring the Diaz haters back out. They had to do something since he had been getting a lot of love on here recently. Just wait til FAMUs first 10+yard gain.

I don't debate that...I just can't stand unwarranted praise heaped upon FSU cuz of the name. Them boys were not real right last year and got by on Dalvin.

Regardless who we have suit up, I'm excited for Richt's first FSU game. That's gonna be a jacked arena that night and I think we gonna put a hurtin on em too.

It's true that we will expect errors from our young LB's. The advantage will be hopefully solid play from the DL. Pressure up front can't mask a ton of deficiencies. If we can play stoutly up front, and if the secondary's tackling has improved, then we may not be in too much danger, and can overcome our inexperience.

Except BC ranked in the top 5 in S&P defense, an advanced stat that weighs schedules and eliminates garbage time stats.

They held Louiville, wake, duke, and ND to their lowest scores in a game all season. FSU to their second lowest. This with a BC offense that couldn't stay on the field.

BC defense was legit.

Why was Boston College's Defense so dominant?

Mark Whipple.

Brown's defenses were not always so proactive. Entering a mid-October matchup against Connecticut in 1998, Massachusetts was 4-1 despite of a defense that put little pressure on opposing quarterbacks, did not compile many sacks and was mediocre at best against the run.

Then in his first year as the Minutemen's defensive coordinator, Brown always had been a disciple of the traditional 4-3 base scheme, but it wasn't as effective as it needed to be. The Huskies underlined that point by racking up 549 yards of offense in a 44-41 win.

Shortly after the game, the Massachusetts coaching staff convened to discuss its flailing defense.

"We got together and said, 'Let's get more of a pressure package,' " said Mark Whipple, Massachusetts's head coach at the time. " 'Let's set our kids loose.' "

Brown introduced a scheme popularized by legendary NFL coach Buddy Ryan in which the defensive line was shifted considerably to the side opposite the tight end and both outside linebackers lined up on the same side of the formation, two or three yards off the line of scrimmage. The objective was to rush as many as eight players on each snap. Brown called his version "The Bear."
