Defensive line performance

[Timmy T-Bags $$$]

Not to be a Debbie Downer but is anyone else worried about our D line performance against UAB? I thought we were elite and would have dominated their offensive line?

Baker got baked. Useless. Only purpose is to suck off Manuela.

 

[Mrfree]

I think it was decent. We got some athletes on that dline.

What concerns me is that our dline is more athletic than our linebackers

 

[TexasCane90]

Felt like we got gashed when we got caught blitzing
Against teams like UAB we don’t need to blitz

our Dline was eating all game in waves with everyone getting flashes

 

[colperm]

We gave up 13 yards rushing in the first half and their quarterback was hearing footsteps because he got hit almost every time he dropped back. The sack totals don’t always tell the whole story

 

[Mr. Dynasty1]

Nesta did he job!

Roche and Phillips were close but some has to step up next to Nesta

 

[Hurracanes]

Overrated. 0 sacks and 0 turnovers against UAB.

Nesta had a nice game.

 

[Canes Legacy]

Nesta had himself a game.

It was fine, not great not terrible. Roche played great as did Nesta, Miller, & Harrison Hunte. The rest were ehh. We had a ton of pressures, but the QB was smart and got the ball out really quickly, even throwing it up like a hot potato if he had to haha

I think the LBs is a bigger problem. Every defense of group can help mask another groups mistake, the LBs did not help at all.

Thought Dline did good.. Roche has good bend.. We played Phillips ALOT more than I thought for a guy who hasnt played in 2 years.. They must not trust the depth or something.. Too many snaps.. Jade made some plays..

I think our LB and staying in striker D while they have run heavy 2 TE formations got us a little. Our LB were not the best in run fit..

 

[KevinCaneFace]

UAB never held the ball for a downfield pass. That’s where your sacks come from. The DLine had several hurries

 

[Mackmiller974]

Zero concern.... That D-Line had like 20 pressure's tonight. QB was under pressure almost every drop back. We let a couple big runs but that was just miscommunication

BINGO.. LB were not on point..

It’s not that they played terrible is just bc our back 7 plays so soft and takes so many questionable routes to the ball, it’s easy to scheme around our pass rush.

Nesta set a high bar for himself for the rest of the season.

Our linebackers are no faster than pink or shaq. Zach is as stiff as 350 pound guard. Its embarrassing

 

[JG14]

Nesta played very well. They game planned to get the ball out of their QBs hands quickly. Otherwise we would have had a lot more sacks

 

[BeastMode]

Outside Nesta we have no dominant DT. DE can only do so much if it’s not a passing down. DE did what they were supposed to do. We miss Greg as I stated before. Everyone wants to downplay him opting out but it’s a huge loss. We have zero elite LB so it is what it is at this point. ******* Ragone is still getting major minutes.

When we got them to 3rd and long you see how great we can be with rushing the passer

We need to score 35pts or more if we plan on winning games.

 

[Mico Jones]

Bakers scheme does not make good use of our DL talent. Too many 3 man fronts and zone blitz stuff.

PLAY JORDAN MILLER MORE PLEASE
