Mario, Please Fire Someone on the Defensive Staff

[Ironmanfootball]

And I get it. Local legend. But he didn’t develop mesidor. Bain had 1.5 years over 3. Lightfoot has had one year. Wilson sucks D$balls eh. There’s no one else worth a chit

What do you mean he didn’t develop Messidor?

Explain that one

Mesidor was a 6th year player. Eventually you’re just bullying jits. No?

 

[BoludoCane21]

don't need the defense to be 2001 level
thought they showed enough flash

make enough timely plays and the team is going to have a chance to win every game

clean up the tackling and get OJ and/or Antoine back and we'll make a run

 

[Ironmanfootball]

The 3rd and 15 play had me livid.

Our LB vacates the middle of the zone to cover the flat (that Damari Brown has covered) and Shepard is left wide open to streak up the field for a conversion.

Our team is not as football smart as it was last year. Add in less physical unit up front and the injuries on the back end, I'm not sure any DC would have an elite unit with this group of players.

Trumpycane was going to bring this specific play up

How do you blame Heatherman here? The defensive call was correct and our 6th year senior goes brain dead and leaves their star rb either no around him

Who picked the 6th year player?

 

[L A M P]

You can’t fire the DC with a top 5 team. Optics matter.

I do wish he’d override something behind closed doors.

That’s a sidfeeent discussion and nothing to do with scheme which Trumpycane feels has been the major talking point

Trumpycane doesn’t understand the LB rotation

 

[Distructobot3000]

Doubt we fire anyone in season. @Distructobot3000 wife gonna fire him. Possibly .

Nah, she’s too complacent. Thinks I should just be happy with the win. Doesn’t have that dawg in her…

 

[CIS_troll_killa]

DBs coach IMO

Yeah the DB’s look lost. Definitely the worst unit.

 

[SIBCanes]

You cannot allow this level of mismanagement to continue. Heatherman would be preferable, but there is not a single unit on that side of the ball that isn’t an abject failure.

Anything short of termination(s) means you find the product on the field acceptable and in line with championship standards.

Thank you.

Did we lose? Defense kept us in the game.

Ironman thinks Hetherman acquires develops and deploys the LBs

Firing Heatherman?!?!? Come on man at this moment its a silly suggestion…..

 

[arizonacane]

Zero sacks again today. 28 points per game given up over the last 5 games. How many defensive off side penalties until the defensive players learn to look at their alignment before the snap. Tackling; nobody except Toure knows how to tackle on this defense. I'm calling it right now, don't expect a win next week against Virginia Tech. Miami's defense has been exposed.

 

[OriginalCanesCanesCanes]

This is a weird ******* thread.

Defense wasn’t great today, and I realize Duke is not an offensive powerhouse, but I was there and I wasn’t unhappy with the defense except for a couple of breakdowns and that last stupid drive.

Yes, there’s a lot that can be improved, including tackling. Yes, there were a couple of missed tackles, but this was in no way a terrible defensive performance.

Great defense? No. But what I saw out there today is NOT what we’ve been seeing the last three games either.

 

[Marcelo2988]

We don’t have good players in year 5 in the era of the transfer portal under a coach who’s best quality is recruiting?

I wonder who is at fault for that one

You don't think we have good players? lol

You know this board. They don’t watch other games, so they don’t realize that everyone has flaws. We’re supposed to be running the 2001 Canes out there every week according to these goofs.

 

[El Orange]

Jason Taylor and Mirabal have shown that when we have elite guys, they get the most out of them. Anyone suggesting those coaches are in any way an issue is way way off base.

The DB coach, and the LB coach, have NOT shown that however. And yes, I know who the LB coach is.

 

[Marcelo2988]

Yeah that #1 offense is a problem.

People are dumb AF on this board lol

It's mind boggling

 

[ssvir]

Real defenses are fundamentally sound and prepared pre snap. We look like we’re running a fire drill.

 

[Empirical Cane]

I just went berserk on this team to my wife just now. 10 minute tirade. I’m going to keep that between us though because I would definitely be called a menstruating ***** on here.

Jesus Christ, it felt good to let it out though

I believe the word of the day is "chocha"

Mesidor was a 6th year player. Eventually you’re just bullying jits. No?

I respect your opinion and know you have an idea, but he wasn’t bullying jits. He was a DT and injured and then came out and was our best player last year with a plethora of moves.

If anyone developed it was Messidor. I get we’re are all mad, but JT is a good coach and has a track record of development imo
