Encouraging defensive stat

Yeah this is how u man use stats. Diaz will have 15 tfls per game in v UAB, Bethune and APP st, then 5 tfls per game v UNC and Clemson and give up 40 points in those two games.

That's just not true. He's capable of putting together a very good defense that isn't just smoke and mirrors.

2017:
Va Tech: 412 YPG avg, 299 vs Miami and 8 TFL
Notre Dame: 448 YPG avg, 261 vs Miami and 9 TFL
Clemson: 431 YPG avg, 331 vs Miami and 10 TFL
Wisconsin: 415 YPG avg, 400 vs Miami and 6 TFL

The 2017 defense was a very good defense, especially when you consider the offense that had major problems.

But its kool the offense was trash so its ok to get ran through for 38 points

They scored 14 points off turnovers in that game on our side of the field. We held them to a field goal in the 2nd half if you take those away. And even in the first half, Feagles punted the ball out of bounds for 10 yards and didn't get it across midfield that turned into a TD for them. Basically 21 of the 38 points was due to mistakes on the offense and special teams.

Bryce Young is a good QB no doubt. But we didn't even make it tough on them. Leading from gun to tape and never needing to answer a score. Im not going overboard with the praise yet. He plays in Gainesville next in 2 weeks and later at A&M. Those teams have better coaches than us and will atleast know what it means to bracket a primary read. We will see what he does then

I see your point but I disagree. We did what we thought would work, what basically everyone that watched the spring game thought would work. We got him out of the pocket and on the move. Where things changed was 2 parts...
1. He looked much better and much more composed (and accurate) while on the move.
2. We missed big plays that could have shook his confidence some and made some stuff easy. Stevenson not getting his hand in to break up the back shoulder fade. Bubba dropping the pick. Gurvan vacating the hook/curl zone to go after Young while Young was still 3 yards behind the LOS AND there was a crosser coming right into his vacated zone for a wide open pass and eventual TD.
The thing is UF and TA&M can learn from our approach and improve upon our game plan.

Take that Wisconsin one of there. You should be ashamed of yourself for putting that up there. And i did give him credit in 2017 in a previous post. I went to all the home games and we played alot of man coverage. Once Golden players left its been going down hill.
 
We also had 10 TFL's...it's over, time to see what they do vs more pedestrian competition. I still think this is a good team.

THIS!!! They have a NFL head corch as oline coach also! Saban the week leading up to the game was calling out Manny's defense and saying how he never runs that **** and if your pressure doesnt get home there are big plays to be had. They had it scouted for months! The game was probably easier with our small players compared to the defense bama used to simulate

A well-prepared defense is one of the best things to watch. Seeing LBs and Safeties line up correctly and find their key is just awesome. And, I mean that even at the High School level. Football is way more complicated if you try to see and do everything on the field. Good coaches, like good teachers, chunk information/concepts. Bama's defenders communicate well. Adjust their presnap position, and overall find their keys way faster than other defenses. Certainly, it helps to have 385 Quality guys hanging around to support the details.

I ouldn’t have been more wrong about Young. Thought he’d have some growing pains to work through but he was fantastic from snap one.

Easy to see why he was the most coveted recruit in America two years ago.

Exactly. Kid played like senior.

I still wish we would disguise our coverage, line up more balanced, and not try time the snap on the blitz.

The only way to make him uncomfortable was to try and confuse him. With the tempo, fake cadence, and check with me, he knew exactly what the defense was doing every snap.
 
At not so encouraging Defensive stat from the ACC: The only team that gave up more yardage than the Canes (501), was Louisville (569).

Seriously need encouragement? Go see my post on Sweet Lou's 47 yd average per 5 punts
 
Once Golden players left its been going down hill.

But which one is it? Is Manny a horrible defensive coach or is it the players? One suggests scheme and the other suggests execution.

I’ll assume you’re being silly here, otherwise holy Christ, but it’d be nice to watch all 14 ACC teams line up to play Bama Week 1 in Atlanta and see how they do.

We played alot of horrible offensive teams in 2018. Just like we did in Diaz first year as a HC when he lost to 2 win previous year UNC, LA Tech and FIU. I would have to dig into those metrics. But its not even a question. Feasts on bad team, **** pushed in by good teams. And when you say better. If you mean we give up say 7 yards per play and the team 5 places below us gives up 7.3 yards per play. Thats negligible. When we played Clemson we had all the stats......only stat that mattered, 38-3. But its kool the offense was trash so its ok to get ran through for 38 points. Im sure thats what you're gonna say.

How did UGA do last year against the only two good offensive team they played in UF and Bama?

How did Bama do facing Ole Miss and UF?

If the list went on and on you would have kept listing them.

Bro I get you’re a positive fan I do. I’m not going to google the list of random QBs to throw for a 75 percent completion rate against diaz. We have made pedestrian QB’s look like Tom Brady. Idk how you can just act as if it doesn’t happen

2017 is a while ago. If anything, make a comparison to last season and that’s a stretch as players come and go.

Is Manolo capable? Sure. Jus as he’s capable of putting together a below average defensive game plan and get blown out…cough, cough, Clempson, UNC and Bama…and yes, he had his hands all over the D last season…

The players fundamentals is the problem. Golden coached up their individual abilities, they were in horrible scheme and play calling.

You want me to compare Diaz to coaches who shown they can beat teams that have equal or better talent, or atleast make it a game. To Diaz who the game is over in 15 mins.....every time.
