Final play defensively.

[Bird4um]

We rush 3. I say rush 5. Heavy from one side and force him to throw across his body.

we had like two dudes staring at the ball like they were glitched.

 

[Elmer Leghorn]

Our DBs have to knock the ball down. No excuses for letting their player almost catch that ball. We got very lucky.

 

[WestGA'Cane]

The ball was thrown perfectly to the back of the end zone. Receivers and defenders first touched the ball at it's apex. There was never a chance to 'knock it down', though I generally agree with the axiom.

It’s like the coaching staff never saw the end of the Alabama vs Auburn game last season.

You don’t let the QB sit back there and toss up the perfect lob into the back of the end zone.

Rush at least 4, have TEs in on defense for the Hail Mary. Rushing 3 gave Drones all the time he needed to get to the spot he wanted before throwing to the end zone. It doesn’t seem like they practiced this scenario. This wasn’t “throwing a fade to the smallest receiver” dumb as we saw with previous regimes but it was close.

Giving the QB time to let his receivers get into the endzone and throw from a clean pocket can end badly as we almost saw. I also think the better approach is to get some pressure on him and force a rushed throw

the play before was worse. it gave them a good shot at a Hail Mary throw. he got an easy 10-15 yards to set it up and make it easier including no one to spy to tackle him in bounds or at least chase him down

 

[canes_226]

D definitely let us down last night

If Cam wasnt our QB thats an L

Final 2 defensive plays were just atrocious schematically

 

[OrangeBowlMagic]

I will die on the hill of you line your 5 best DBs up on the goal line, you rush your 5 best pass rushers, and you put your most agile backer as a spy to rush the QB after the initial surge. If he avoids 6 guys and makes a perfect throw to the endzone, so be it. But I’m never gonna let him make a casual, unimpeded throw.

 

[hcanes100]

agreed. the prevent defense has never prevented anything.

 

[Cane&Abel]

You know the secondary is questionable when u had to have our WR Horton back there to break that pass play up!

 

[RBradleigh]

I wouldn’t mind seeing #88 out there on the end line there as a jumper, 6’ 6” who occupies space.

Yup. Guess they don't believe in the "get your tallest/best jumpers out there to defend a Hail Mary" theory.

in the game day thread this is EXACTLY wht i said...would of sent every thing to his throwing arm side.....

That's brave considering who our best 5 DBs are.

I mean I've seen NFL teams do that...

 

[Rickd]

Miami rushing 3 is nearly always a disaster.

 

[mcnaire2004]

Yeah, the 2 man Rush was dumb. Rather Rush 4 seriously (than 2half ***). If he scrambles for touchdown I'll be ****ed but I guess you earn it
