Was the Baby born at 4:17??Baker just had a child. I suspect he wasn't as focused this week
North Carolina averaged 193 yards rushing per game in 2018, 238 against South Carolina last week, 97 against us. Maybe you don't consider that "taking away", but holding a team to 50% of their usual production in any area is a good thing to me. It's not the only thing, naturally, but perhaps this is just comes down to a matter of perspective.
If pink dont blitz..he is uselessMichael Pinckney had a good game
You seem committed to being mad about this, so you do you. All good.21 carries for 106 yards from top two rushers and 10 for 76 from their top guy with a long of 22yrds. That's not stopping their run.
LOL I'll never look at time the same again.Was the Baby born at 4:17??
Gurvan Hall running from 50 yards back to get to the QB. He's the only one we sent right?
Gotta give credit where it’s due. He ran that RPO very well and with pressure in his face. That kid is going to be goood.

If Baker & the defensive coaches would pull their heads out of their a@@es, they would play Rousseau & Hill over Patchan. They would also let Garvin get after it. That way they could get significant pressure from the base defense and not have to blitz as much. They aren't using their best assets and it's killing them. Yes, Patchan is a senior but he isn't elite at this level. He's certainly not even a good pass rushing threat. He's basically an experienced JAG at this level. The personnel decisions & game plan (for the UF game at minimum) have taken a defensive line that could be wreaking absolute havoc and turned it into something pretty average/passive. That is hugely disappointing.Manny and co are the only defensive coaches that I thin blitz too much. 3 and anything longer than 7 they are going to blitz
That UNC QB is going to be a problem going forward for any team they face.
He’d elevate any offense he walked in to.
Not to worry...it is just the norm.... we have a penchant to make every rookie or second string QB look like the second coming of Joe Montana.. they soon fade out after that.
It's not an excuse so much as its pointing out what we have to address. The gameplan against Florida was great, IMO, because we took away their strength and dared them to beat us with their weakness. As has been discussed plenty on this board already, if we make any of about 7 plays in that game, we win. Against North Carolina, I'll cede that we appeared to underestimate Howell as a QB, but we still took away their running game, so the plan worked somewhat. It could have been better. We made adjustments in the 2nd Q, didn't make them in the 4th. That's on coaching, sure.
But what isn't on coaching, yet, are the poor attempts at tackling. If we're at Week 10 and it's still a problem, I'll point to coaching then. Most of these guys who played last year were great at tackling then but aren't this year. Is that only on coaching?
2nd lowest graded player on defense for the second week in a row. I’m ready for Huff with the 4.6 speed.If pink dont blitz..he is useless
I don't ever remember Manny's defense looking this unprepared and lost.
