Bandas comment that bothers me

[MiamiChris]

Am I overreacting?

Banda in interview today when discussing the progression of Hall and saying first couple games it’s what he expected (a lot of running around not knowing what he’s doing) and Knowles over took him because of how well he tackled. Banda than said speaking about Hall progressing is he got better at “The Only Thing I Care about, which is tackling”.

Just seemed like an odd comment, while tackling in open space is obviously important what about coverage?

Then why is carter playing at all? Guy needs to retake geometry cause his angles are straight garbage. Banda is an idiot

He also praised Bubba Bolden on being athletic, being in the right place at right time, giving full energy but if Bubba doesn’t tackle he’s not going to play. I GET IT but under this theory players like Deion Sanders or CJ Henderson wouldn’t play (I know they are corners).

Seems stupid

I think you’re reading into it too much. The safeties have a ton of pressure on them in this defense and have to be incredibly sure tacklers. Hall has the athleticism to be anywhere on the field he needs to be quicker than almost anyone else. But if he gets there and whiffs or takes a bad angle he’s not better than having a guy (Knowles) get there a step (or five) late and actually make the tackle.

Get a grip OP

Not that big of a fan of Banda but the staff has been preaching the importance of tackling for quite some time with a similar message in years past

Henderson wouldn’t play in this scheme. I know he’s an incredible talent, but if he can’t or won’t tackle there is zero chance he gets on the field outside of injuries. Who was the last “soft” player Manny Diaz rolled out to start on Miami’s defense consistently?

Banda doesn’t get Florida style football. Coverage matters, INTs are the best part of football IMO. Feels like that’s engrained into kids early down here.

Getting laid helps with that OP

Banda annoys the **** out of me...But I think OP reading too much into it. He's just making a point, let's get the opponent on the ground.

As much as i despise everything that came from Tallahassee, Deion was arguably the best cover corner ever. Dudes that are that good have their own rules, didn't need to tackle.

See also LT with his own rules.

I think it's a slight over reaction. Think about it....in our system one of the most important positions is our S and we ask them to clean up a lot. For better or worse that is our system and getting a guy to the ground is paramount for our S in our system. When we are really good we tackle well. UNC and CMU go back to the tape and watch all of the missed tackles that allow drives to continue and get teams out of bad spots.

Are you overreacting? yes. But you have a point, a coach shouldn't make such encompassing statements. If he only cared about tackling **** we would put a LB back there...

I think he is echoing what Manny has been drilling down on. With our D, the safetys need to be sure tacklers to prevent big plays. It is no secret why we have already given up more chunk plays this year than all of last year. JJ led the team in tackles and was that dude cleaning up messes from the S spot.

Give me a guy that is in the right place at the right time and might miss a tackle every now and then over a guy that's not in the right zip code and can't make an ATTEMPT at a tackle.

Or it's just lip service and they don't actually know how to teach it. Instead, they just say, "Miami standard."

Sounds like a Corch that was serving drinks before he got hired by Shanny

 

[Suarez]

Banda gets a ton of hate, but our Safety play the last couple years was arguably the strongest group on the entire team. And Redwine was easily our most improved player.
