Matt Porter Scrimmage Notes

[Jedi Master Cane]

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.

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%.

This right here is EXACTLY why I constantly remind everyone that the common thread between the cast of characters on this board who either actively or passively defend the coaching staff and/or administration all have one thing in common....they are morons.

Re-read what you just posted. You're comparing a COMPETENT offense in Nebraska to a below average offense in VT and then using it as some type of *** backwards defense that the "defense" in some way showed improvement last year.

Against anyone with a heartbeat...we folded. Nothing has changed...if it has to be explained to you any further then you're just as bad as the brock's and Hurricane Warrior's of this board.

Holy ******* ****.

 

[Cash]

It means we're running the same defense.

You're the defintion of ignorance...

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.

Congratulations you really got me.... And Pete and several others! Now put your tampon in and grow the **** up! Your boy posted something stupid for the mere purpose of trolling, or is he really that ignorant when it comes to football.

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?

Well, I'd argue that the GTech game was execution (like them picking up a couple of third and forevers), but I agree with the rest of this. Just OK isn't good enough, but if we jump up as much this year as we did last year, the D should make us players in the ACC (which also isn't good enough, but I'll take it this year).

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.

6-7...only stat that matters. I know its hard to swallow the truth when you gagging on AG's obese nut sac

Lets talk in November and see how you and your throat are doing then

 

[caneaddict]

golden doesnt have the requisite skill set to be a major college football coach

 

[weownfsu]

The defense was ******* awful. They got destroyed against every competent offense they faced. They gave up more than 30 points five times.

Yes, won loss record is definitely the only stat that matters to judge defenses. God it'll be good when the junior high schools get back in session tomorrow. These mental Giants will be occupied for several hours a day.

This guy is a piece of work...only 3 possibilities here

1. Brock created another screen name
2. Don Bailey Jr created a screen name
3. We really need to consider administering an IQ test in conjunction with the right to post on this board.

HOLY ******* ****.

Problem is those pesky stats means absolutely nothing when taken out of context. It's the exact reason why Al can say yards don't matter one year and then it's his selling point in another year. It's exactly why the offense was neutered with the slow down in an effort to make his defense look competent.

 

[Nickkcin]

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.

Not at all, even in a 4-3 defense the defensive end has contain/edge setting duties against the run. Does it mean the defense has changed entirely? No, but just because the comment of a defensive end setting the edge doesn't mean that the world is ending.

Bravo, great post

6-7

 

[3FW]

It's funny Golden and crew get a B or B+ for recruiting, evaluation, and development. They get Fs for much of the rest, and that is why talented football teams lose a ton of games. There is some buzz about this team, but I won't be convinced until Thanksgiving.

The only competent O out of those was GT and they put up 28 points against us, while we committed some of the most egregious defensive errors in memory. Stop it.
