Then stick to your business because you are really bad at the football thingNah, not not enough paper in HS coaching for me…I chose to build e-commerce businesses, obtain 7 figure exits, and dump the proceeds into the market so I don’t have to punch a clock like I’m sure you do every morning. Crazy how you get disrespectful from football talk and don’t even know who you’re talking to. Can’t lil boy me, hoe *** cane fan.
Yea exactly…and stick to sitting in your cubicle and being a super fan with blinders.Then stick to your business because you are really bad at the football thing
Name of the game is put up as many points as you can and keep your opponent off the board. As someone who played Cignetti and Heatherman at JMU first-hand, there’s some coaches who coach to play tight and not give up yards, but susceptible to big plays. Others coach to play top down and bend not break.Nah, you just don’t know what you’re looking at…
O yea, most definitely…I just hate covering grass man lol. It’s working so far, so hopefully it continues.Name of the game is put up as many points as you can and keep your opponent off the board.

Pretty sure our secondary is schemed to bend not break which means we give up yards but not TDs. Heatherman has a top 5 scoring d, making every other stat out there irreverent.
Every defense has its holes. Name of the game is a chess match between DC and OC in how many hats ur dedicating to the run vs playing coverage…etc. it’s ongoing during every game.
No defense will ever be a catch 22 stop everything bc that’s why coordinators get paid millions to make in-game adjustments.
this!Hetherman. No A. Cory Hetherman. Put on a friggin masterclass yesterday. 3 points on the road in a playoff game against a top ten team.
If Hethermen had James and Kam and the guys we had then our defense would’ve been much better then too. Our guys are amazing but the coach is putting them in a position to be successful toohe is awesome.
But to be fair look at the talent we added to that Defense:
Keonte Scott should have been a Thorpe finalist
Jacobe Thomas - first team all acc
Zach Poyser - freshman AA last year
X Lucas- big strong cover corner
Toure- experienced tackling machine
Blay- nice college DT
Plus the development of being a year older for Scott, Blount, Lightfoot, and the evolution of Moten who balled out all year.
This personnel is light years better than last year.
Fair point but just because you have talent doesn’t mean you’re automatically going to be a good coach…he is awesome.

agree I can't stand watching players cover grass. Its not any defense I played in, zone always turned to manAbsolutely no need to get cute, I just believe in matching routes and not covering grass.
Agreed but if guys underneath are getting in throwing lanes, it gives more time for the backend to recover (see Bryce Fitzgerald’s 6 picks). That last pick yesterday, may go unnoticed but from my vantage point, Chase Smith got in the throwing lane forcing Reed to put some air on it instead of driving it, giving Bryce time to recover and pick it off. As long as we got 11 hats to the ball, idcagree I can't stand watching players cover grass. Its not any defense I played in, zone always turned to man
Smith was certainly in the throwing window, which forced a softer layered pass that allowed Bryce to jump it 100%Agreed but if guys underneath are getting in throwing lanes, it gives more time for the backend to recover (see Bryce Fitzgerald’s 6 picks).

Watched some film from the game yesterday and something I noticed from end zone copy was by playing lots of zone and “covering grass” in some instances, it allowed us to rally to Reed when he scrambled more. Whereas in man, once he escapes contain, it’s a 20 yard gain. Guys who were in underneath coverage were able to rally much easier which played a big role in our ability to limit Reed’s legs
He's improved on this a ton too:Offenses have been able to script against his defenses but he is great at making the adjustments needed. We haven’t had a coach that can make adjustments on that side of the ball in a long time.
