Matt Porter Scrimmage Notes

[ajkreider]

For all the mopery, and some admittedly bizarre defensive calls on occasion, last year's defense can't be described as bad. It was bad in spots, and they gave up at the end. But it was ok, all in all.

Any improvement this year makes this team a tough out, with a more seasoned Kaaya.

It wasn't bad against inferior competition, but they got their asses kicked when the talent level was close. That is an indication that the coaches aren't getting the best out of the talent that they have. I don't expect that to change this year.

Glad to hear no injuries.

"We have four QBs that can go in the game" OC Coley. They trying to burn Evan's redshirt a la Trayone for appeasement and insurance that the '16 QB still comes in; that isn't necessary.

Yes they're burning his redshirt in a scrimmage.... Genius

Golden's thoughts on defense: "… I thought there was a couple third downs we shouldn’t have given up.” Seems like I have been yelling this to the T.V. for the last couple of years. I am hopeful that we might be turning the corner with this statement from Golden. Maybe something clicked?

Nebraska just got another first down.

Lol at people thinking this defense is changing when you have quotes like this, talking about our most athletic/fastest rusher....setting friggin edges

Thomas said rush end Al-Quadin Muhammad “made some plays. … That motivated a lot of D-linemen, watching Quan go out there and making plays, setting edges, doing his job.”

You know the DE's responsibility is to set the edge for gap integrity right? It doesn't mean 2 gap necessarily.

It means we're running the same defense.

You're the defintion of ignorance...

These guys don't know football man lol

Of all people to insinuate they know anything about football...this post is comical. Go back to kissing the administration's ***...it's what you do best.

Nebraska just got another first down.

VTech just got caught behind the line again. What's your point? Obviously Nebraska was a poor effort, but the defense finished 14th in yards per game and 45th in points. Every team has cupcakes on their schedule. This is mediocre. Bad is what we were the year before - in the bottom 25%.

None of this means **** until Sept 19th. Lets talk then.

You live in either DC, Washington State, or Colorado. Only high grade legal marijuana consumption can explain this. The other option is that you are a blind ******. I am hoping its the former rather than the latter

Ah, you're one of those "eye test" evaluators of relative performance. Pesky things, stats.

Alex Collins is a lock to Miami, right?

So is this how it goes? Your boyfriend runs back and tells he's being picked on so one your little groupies comes back to defend his honor? Yep gotcha. Or do you just have multiple accounts?

Did you or did you not assert that Alex Collins was a lock to Miami? Answer the question.

 

[omaha]

Jordan Scarlett is a lock to Miami. Heck, I think he goes pro after this year.

 

[Gatorhater]

Wish these people would stop interviewing Golden. Nothing he says matters. I have come around to the idea that he is a modern Ed Mark-em-down Lane. For those to young, famous Miami used car salesman.

Even if you were right about the defense being adequate, which it wasn't, neither bad nor OK are anywhere near good enough for this program. You complain about mopery and then proceed to make a claim not based in reality that there were bizarre defensive calls "on occasion," even though the entirety of the Nebraska and Georgia Tech games were complete abominations as a result of Golden's philosophy.

Al Golden when our total defenses ranked in the 100s in the previous two years: "Yards don't matter."

Al Golden after giving up 32.5 points per game in 6 embarrassing regular season losses with a misleading, inflated total defense ranking: "Yards matter now because it's the only cherry-picked stat that supports my new narrative."

- Worth repeating: 32.5 points per game allowed in 6 regular season losses
- 63rd in 3rd down defensive efficiency
- T-82nd in passes intercepted
- 60th in red zone defense
- T-68th in team sacks
- 102nd in tackles for loss

When looking at those embarrassing rankings, take into consideration that our offense operates at a snail's pace to slow the game down and protect the defense by keeping it off the field as much as possible. This is despite the geographically built-in advantage of having the most skill talent-rich recruiting base in the entire country at our disposal. Instead of maximizing opportunities to get the ball into the hands of that skill talent, we bleed clock to minimize plays per game. That's all because of the continued ineptitude of Golden's defense.

We had top 15-20 talent and finished 6-7. We were clearly the second- or third-most talented team in the ACC and finished in the bottom half of the worst subdivision among the Power 5. But hey, our total defense ranking was great so that unit's improvement was clear, right?
