Have to Disagree with you about this being the same Diaz Defense. It is more Containment and Focused on shutting down the Run. That S... might work against running teams but as we get into the Meat of this schedule, they better generate some pass rush, pressure, and more physicality.
Ford and Bethel are excellent against the Run and Bethel is getting better at getting in the Backfield to create pressure the last 2 games. But Bethel is not a true 3Tech, so why not try the guy from UCLA with the hard name, Blisset and Miller more to generate pressure.
I think Stefan Adams agrees with me as well, this is what he posted on our Defense:
""" This is not the same Manny Diaz defense Miami fans have been accustomed to over the years. It seems like Miami is playing a variation of “bend but don’t break defense”, which, with the talent on this roster, is borderline criminal behavior from Blake Baker. It’s soft and playing not to lose, instead of unleashing the bottled up aggression that the past 3 UM defenses have done successfully."""
