Were on the bench when LSU ripped off long run. Including all three starters at lb.

Twenty six d players played in the first half , which is insane.

We wasn’t even playing a tempo team . This staff literally subs themselves into loses.

Total effort by the staff, total **** show from the o and d coaches.

yeah man...LSU game 1 is not the time to get folks PT that typically don't play or are brand new...epic fail
 
I was pretty much ok with a bunch of this, but Mike Smith and Robert Knowles are the only two imo that simply should not be in the 2 deep.. and those were the exact two that were on the losing ends of the two key blocks by the pulling guards.

It’s insane to have massive subs in the first half , twenty six players playing in a half is just insane . Especially a team that is a ball control and runs no tempo.
 
As soon as I saw Knowles on the big screen replay, I knew something was up. I had no idea that many starters were on the bench until later that night.

Does anyone with an IQ above 70 honestly think that Saban or Meyer would have allowed that BS to happen in a big stage game like this? Oh, heeelll no, Saban would have chewed and chewed and chewed an *** out till the coordinator either quit on the spot went into hiding under Don Soldinger's old towel.

That's as stupid as stupid can be.
 
Real talk is this a conditioning issue?
Cause if it is then wth are we doing. Jokes aside Diaz gotta let his dogs be out there. Mike smith and rob knowles are killing us

I'm trying to remember a time that we purposely took Jon Vilma and DJ Williams off the field...just for the fvck of it.

Matter of fact, I'm trying to remember any time that we subbed this many players on the back-end. (DL I can understand)

WTF is the point of that?!

No elite defense does it, it’s sickening. Manny act like/assumes there is no drop off between the starters and backups which couldn’t be further from the truth. I get Why you would do that on the dline but not a good chunk of the defense especially all at once...

There's no reason to sub that much against a team that huddles every down.

Not a conditioning issue. It’s a Manny Diaz issue. Maybe in 2 years we have enough quality depth to get away with it (we shouldn’t be doing it anyway) but right now we simply don’t have the talent for the 2s to be out there like that.

No! It’s Diaz trying to reinvent the wheel but with pixie dust and sparkles...

I think this game will scare the coaches into not doing that again.

Heres the issue: I think they were judging the performance of the 2nd string guys against sub part competition, which could have been in the form of 2nd team or 3rd team O, **** even our first team... I don't think they expected the talent drop off that we all saw.

I cannot think of a single good play either robert knowles or romeo finley have had in their time here. Not a single one. I can remember Mike smith a few times making a decent tackle but those DBs never seen.

TAPE REQ: FIND A GOOD PLAY KNOWLES OR FINLEY HAVE PRODUCED IN THEIR TIME IN MIAMI

This dumb striker **** is annoying, we just need to stick with what works and either go nickel or go base 4-3. The experiment aint working.

they would refuse to come off the field dan morgan would lose his mind
 
columbia records keeps trying to tell me that solange knowles is a different performer than the last time I saw her.
 
To compound the issue, Diaz chose to blitz Jaquon off the edge with all these backups in. Blitzing is high risk high reward to begin with but now you make it even riskier by taking your best defender out of the play and putting all the pressure on those backups to hold up if the blitz doesn't get home. Bad personnel combined with a bad call yields a bad play. Shocking.
