Folden on Joe Rose

[OzarCaneSaw]

B.S. You really believe that after 3 and a half seasons, the light bulb just magically turned on for the players at exactly the same time when Golden's seat was starting to get warm? These guys who were highly touted recruits in high school, somehow forgot or never knew how to tackle or cover a WR, but now they are suddenly tackling better and blanketing receivers and it has absolutely nothing to do with a scheme change? I'm not buying that for a second. Golden clearly will not admit it publicly but this is a different defense then the one we have seen for the last 3 seasons.

You will not get an honest answer from any Golden Girl. His **** is so deep down their collective throats it's cutting off oxygen to their pea-sized, estrogen filled brains.

Oh baloney....the best we can all agree is there have been subtle changes to the defense. I will tell you this. Go watch Perryman against Nebraska and then against Virginia Tech and he is attacking and shedding in the latter game. They haven't changed his assignments.

The PLAYER didn't CHANGE. He's the same player vs VaTech as he was vs Duke as he was vs UNC as he was vs Louisville. Or are you saying that it takes a player like DP three and one half ****ING YEARS TO "GET IT"??? If so, THAT right there is a problem. Alice has been coaching him for three and a half YEARS!!!!! And he's JUST NOW GETTING IT??? Really? You live in bizarro world where that makes any sense whatsoever? Thanks for using him as your example because if DP isn't getting it until mid season than we will NEVER win a Coastal championship and will lose 2-3 early season games, every single year. You understand that's what you're saying, right?

I realize it is difficult to understand, but when your All-American candidate plays a bad game you're in trouble in most cases. Denzel played poorly against Nebraska. That's a statement of fact. He didn't play especially well against Georgia Tech.

Continue to blame the players and defend your main squeeze. After all, that's his m.o.

I refuse to believe that a player of DP's caliber takes 3 1/3 years to "get it". Sorry, the dude knew how to play the game prior to stepping on campus. He's known how to play all along but being the truly unselfish player that he is, did what was asked of him and played the ****** scheme Alice asked of him. Only to be **** on by his coach and her fans. The players deserve better, they really do.

 

[OzarCaneSaw]

some of you guys have single cell brains.

what is he going to say? yes, we made the mistake of not making adjustments and because were (or are) close to getting fired, we made some significant adjustments by playing closer to the LOS, being more aggressive etc.

absolutely not.

Or maybe the players are just executing an extremely complicated defensive scheme better. No need to hate on the man for giving the players some credit finally.

We're in his fourth year. If you're telling me that it took mid season to turn things around, then we're gonna lose early season games every year. You understand what you're saying right?

You're being awfully critical of what we've been waiting for 3.5 years now

Huh? That's what you get from that?

B.S. You really believe that after 3 and a half seasons, the light bulb just magically turned on for the players at exactly the same time when Golden's seat was starting to get warm?

Exactly how is that? Denzel was 5 to 6 yards off the ball which was proper depth. He was off his game. Didn't shed well and was late to scrap. He's a terrific player and worthy of All-American status. He just didn't play well. It happens.

You're lying just like your coach did when he said we didn't play with the lead vs GaTech.

There are multiple screen shots that say differently than what you're saying. In particular, 3rd and short situations where he was over 6 yards off.

So no player can ever have a bad game? Manti Te'o played a bad game against Alabama and Notre Dame got embarrassed. It happens. Denzel played poorly against Nebraska. It happens. He also deserves to be first team All-American this year and is a legitimate candidate for the Butkus if he finishes out strongly. What do you mean it takes "3 1/3 years to 'get it'"? He was first team All-ACC last year.

Are you gonna tell me it takes 4 years and mostly upperclassmen and most of the season and a great game from an All American to not get embarrassed by a middle of the road Big10 team running the same play over and over and over and over again?


If that's true, Golden should be fired today.

Yes, 5 to 6 yards is the proper depth against the Flexbone for the MIKE. You put him 3 yards off the ball then I'm running midline all day long and twice on Sundays because he'll be lost in the wash and can't scrap. You don't even understand the offense that I can tell you. There were other things they should have done in that ballgame. They did make some adjustments and move the nose to 1-technique but they really needed to walk the safety up and tighten the edge guys.

I'm saying Perryman didn't play well. That's all. BTW, your "middle of the road Big 10 team" is ranked #15 and sits at 8-1. They're going to win the Big 10 West and get Michigan State again on a neutral field.

Yeah, it is. In year 3.5 folden has finally figured out how to slow down bad ACC offenses. It's practically a minor miracle. No need to nitpick or prognosticate how long it'll take him next year to reach the same ****** milestone. He sucks all by himself, parsing the minutia of his terribleness just gives the Goldenbots fuel for their fire. You don't have to stretch so far, his coaching records speak for its self.

I hear you about Perryman. The thing is our scheme is admittedly designed such that every player must win his individual assignment on every play, or it will break. If we can't figure out how to win when 1 or 2 guys have a bad game, then we're gonna end up with 3 losses and 3rd place in the coastal more often than not. That is my problem with Golden and co.


We'll see the Huskers end up. They will probably finish the season ranked, though, which will continue the trend with Golden and L's against quality teams.

He was MORE than 5-6 yards off on MULTIPLE short yardage situations. I'm not arguing to bring him even closer. The fact is, he was not in position to make the plays. You know how I know it was our scheme and NOT our players? Because a team rushed for 343 ******* yards and we had ZERO tackles for loss. Stop shifting blame on the players and own up to the fact that we were OUTCOACHED.

They're the second lowest ranked 1 loss team with two 2 loss teams ahead of them. They could also lose any one or two of their remaining three games. They certainly are not a LOCK in winning the Big Ten West. ****, they have the same number of conference losses as all three of their remaining opponents.

Btw, the lowest 1 loss team? Duke (Golden's signature win) with eight 2 loss teams ahead of them.

Bull *****...go rewatch the game. He just didn't play well. He was late and didn't explode and shed when he was engaged like he normally does. Now go watch him against Florida the year before.

Love your ad homenum attacks because you don't know what you're talking about. I've been on record for two years saying I'm not a fan of what we're running because it's too complicate at this level. These kids have too much responsibility and have to learn too many different techniques.

Perryman is your best player bar none. If he had better tackles to protect him more he'd have Luke Kuechly like numbers.

 

[NVA CANE]

When you have to contort your argument to the point where it defies logic then you know you're lying to yourself and to everyone reading your posts. If you believe the players suddenly got better or they just learned how to tackle or they had a bad game or whatever ****amamie theory you want to put out there for the sake of Golden's reputation go ahead. But don't try to convince others of some bull**** theory. Golden is being more aggressive on the defensive calls than he was previously. Its putting the players in a better position to make plays.

When Golden says he hasn't changed anything he is full of ****. And I'd respect him more if he just came out and said, we are putting our players in a better position to succeed because thats what has happened in the last three games. I credit him for doing it, but just admit to it and stop putting the blame on the players.

 

[Pentagon Cane]

There were changes in the overall alignment of that defense. Comparing Denzel's production in both games is comparing apples to oranges.

Exactly how is that? Denzel was 5 to 6 yards off the ball which was proper depth. He was off his game. Didn't shed well and was late to scrap. He's a terrific player and worthy of All-American status. He just didn't play well. It happens.

You're lying just like your coach did when he said we didn't play with the lead vs GaTech.

There are multiple screen shots that say differently than what you're saying. In particular, 3rd and short situations where he was over 6 yards off.

Yes, 5 to 6 yards is the proper depth against the Flexbone for the MIKE. You put him 3 yards off the ball then I'm running midline all day long and twice on Sundays because he'll be lost in the wash and can't scrap. You don't even understand the offense that I can tell you. There were other things they should have done in that ballgame. They did make some adjustments and move the nose to 1-technique but they really needed to walk the safety up and tighten the edge guys.

He was MORE than 5-6 yards off on MULTIPLE short yardage situations. I'm not arguing to bring him even closer. The fact is, he was not in position to make the plays. You know how I know it was our scheme and NOT our players? Because a team rushed for 343 ****ing yards and we had ZERO tackles for loss. Stop shifting blame on the players and own up to the fact that we were OUTCOACHED.

Sure, we were outcoached. That was obvious. But please tell me how we were to stop the dive when our two tackles were getting dominated. What are you going to do about the midline and the option? You don't stop the dive in a base defense against Flexbone it makes for a long night.

Expect lies from a man who said we didn't play with the lead against GaTech (in defense of his defense). Think about that. Not only did we play with the lead at 7-0, but also at 14-7. The guy LIES to the fans and there are still people willing to ape him and say the players are to blame for our losses.

You know how I know it was our scheme and NOT our players? Because a team rushed for 343 ****ing yards and we had ZERO tackles for loss. Stop shifting blame on the players and own up to the fact that we were OUTCOACHED.

Sure, we were outcoached. That was obvious. But please tell me how we were to stop the dive when our two tackles were getting dominated. What are you going to do about the midline and the option? You don't stop the dive in a base defense against Flexbone it makes for a long night.

We were protecting all night from the deep ball (Golden even admitted this). Should have stacked the box. Having your LBs playing 8 yards of the ball was insane. Especially on the short yardage situations. Screen shots have been posted on this site. It's there. Not like it's a matter of opinion at this point.

Question for you. Do you think Duke's fumble cost us the game?

Exactly how is that? Denzel was 5 to 6 yards off the ball which was proper depth. He was off his game. Didn't shed well and was late to scrap. He's a terrific player and worthy of All-American status. He just didn't play well. It happens.

You're lying just like your coach did when he said we didn't play with the lead vs GaTech.

There are multiple screen shots that say differently than what you're saying. In particular, 3rd and short situations where he was over 6 yards off.

Yes, 5 to 6 yards is the proper depth against the Flexbone for the MIKE. You put him 3 yards off the ball then I'm running midline all day long and twice on Sundays because he'll be lost in the wash and can't scrap. You don't even understand the offense that I can tell you. There were other things they should have done in that ballgame. They did make some adjustments and move the nose to 1-technique but they really needed to walk the safety up and tighten the edge guys.

So no player can ever have a bad game? Manti Te'o played a bad game against Alabama and Notre Dame got embarrassed. It happens. Denzel played poorly against Nebraska. It happens. He also deserves to be first team All-American this year and is a legitimate candidate for the Butkus if he finishes out strongly. What do you mean it takes "3 1/3 years to 'get it'"? He was first team All-ACC last year.

That was in the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP game.

Are you gonna tell me it takes 4 years and mostly upperclassmen and most of the season and a great game from an All American to not get embarrassed by a middle of the road Big10 team running the same play over and over and over and over again?


If that's true, Golden should be fired today.

I'm saying Perryman didn't play well. That's all. BTW, your "middle of the road Big 10 team" is ranked #15 and sits at 8-1. They're going to win the Big 10 West and get Michigan State again on a neutral field.

I hear you about Perryman. The thing is our scheme is admittedly designed such that every player must win his individual assignment on every play, or it will break. If we can't figure out how to win when 1 or 2 guys have a bad game, then we're gonna end up with 3 losses and 3rd place in the coastal more often than not. That is my problem with Golden and co.


We'll see the Huskers end up. They will probably finish the season ranked, though, which will continue the trend with Golden and L's against quality teams.

Perryman is your best player bar none. If he had better tackles to protect him more he'd have Luke Kuechly like numbers.

Better tackles will improve everything on D for sure. It would also have helped if we adjusted to put a lineman over the center to keep him from running right to Perryman on every play.

We scored 31 points with a freshman qb on the road and supposedly the most experienced and talented defense we've had since Golden arrived in CG. Players may not have made all american tackles against Nebraska, but the defensive failure is squarely on the coaching staff.


And about GT and the dive its again on the coaching...
it is easy to stop the option. Block down, step down. We don't do it, b/c we don't put linemen in a spot to succeed, we don't emphasize getting upfield with the ends, we don't play press coverage, and both our safeties are 20yds off the line on every play.

No, he was trying to make a play. It was a huge swing.
