Manny's D - A Lesson in Agression

Advertisement
Mannys defense is meant to stop spread teams. Which is why we usually do well against those teams. Where he struggles is against power teams with formidable offensive lines like Wisconsin. The lack of gap integrity against power teams gets us gashed.

on top of that, wisky usually bullies everyone along the line.
 
This is all well and good, but our situational defense and tackling have been bad all year. UF, UNC and GT all come to mind. We’ve had the lead late in multiple games this year and lost

And here the lies the reason as to why Enos was hired and why we don’t have a spread.

We have regressed in 3rd down defense. Mainly because of the complete lack of tackling against GT and then not being prepared for VT.
 
Sagarin shows 33 power five teams with a better sos. Rarely is he over 5 spots off from other legitimate sources
Even so, the point remains, when taken in context, the 2019 defensive numbers aren't really that impressive as some want to make them seem to be.
 
I mean for f^ck’s sake looking at those numbers makes me want to hurl given our overall record. Why Manny wasn’t invested in the defense from the get-go beats me, but for the love of god Manny find an OC Like Bedenbaugh and we’ll be a top 8 team playing Clemson in the ACCCG for a potential playoff berth next season

If he doesn't have the nuts to fire Enos he better make him go learn more spread concepts unless this line just happens to grow leaps and bounds.

And those situations change if our kickers can make 20 yard FGs and the offense isn’t the worst in the country at 3rd down conversions.
 
Just take a look down here. There are only two stats we have regressed in. Passing D and Turnovers. Both a function of losing Mike Jack, Redwine and Jaquan. But take a look at rushing D. We are holding teams to 97 ypg.

Also, for the **** of it I put in net punting. We were horrible even in 2017.

Stats mean something but the below are rankings in context, aka versus other teams. Our D line is probably the best under Manny. It is insane.

Do you have Yards per play?
 
I actually believe now that this team has hit its stride confidence wise and could potentially win out. If they do, they will look back on those losses to GT, UNC, VT and really kick themselves. **** shame. ESPECIALLY the GT loss. That loss alone cost them the ACC Coastal title potentially and those clowns might end the season 2-10. Smh.
I think that will fuel their fire next year. We have a grand majority of our team coming back, if they learned from these mistakes this year(coaching staff included) and keep progressing we may have something special brewing. Let’s see how they finish out the year though!!
