This is BS, I feel that the type of coverage at the beginning of the season had to do with many teams having success so I do attribute to the play calling. Now we may not have all american type players, but i'll be darn if we don't have adequate players. Coach D has adjusted to it and I commend him for doing agreat job with adjustments....Now tell me if we had such awful players, how in the **** has the D gotten so much better if we didn't have adequate players...typical responses....when things go well coaches get all the praise but when things don't go well its on the players......
Three guys on defense worth a **** right now...
Sean Spence
Anthony Chickillo
Denzel Perryman
We've had some players fade in and out...Darius Smith has come on a little bit, Curtis Porter played fine today...but for the most part, the D is full of scrubs.
THIZZLE
clue me in. what does "JAGS" mean? thx
UVA's offense raped us. Duke put up huge yardage numbers. FSU is vastly overrated on offense(see their 13 point effort yesterday), USF is as horrid a one dimensional offense as immaginable(they put up 10 points against Connecticut, 17 against Buttgers & Pittsburgh and that performance in the Notre Dame game made my eyes bleed and included a defensive score).
I am not impressed yet.
We have crap at the corner position but the rest is more than servicable. There's no reason for Bethune Cookman to put up 400 yards on us.
We still rarely force a turnover or get an interception.
Mark No D' ofrio's defense is the reason this team has 5 losses.
Our defense is what it is. We lack big time talent and play a scheme that trades yards and points for time. Playing a back-up walk on QB doesn't change that. Any QB that can hit the broadside of a barn can have a big day against us. We just have to ride it out till we get more talented on all levels.

Just FWIW 2011 Canes:
Scoring Offense: 27.4 61st in the nation
Scoring Defense: 19.7 19th in the nation
Fisch is widely praised by our fans and D'Onfrio criticized by many (not by me). And I would say Fisch has much more talent on that side of the ball. Obviously stats don't tell the whole story but thought it was interesting.

What's even more interesting is most every team we've faced has a better defense than offense. Not to mention the one demosnional teams we've faced like FSU, GT, osu* and south fl with a walk on qb for an entire half.
Our offense doesn't go against each other. This comparison in invalid.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
Nites-
Why are you frustrated that the defense is playing well lately?
