Matt Porter Scrimmage Notes

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 ****ing ****.

Gonna try to dumb this down for you, but it's going to take some effort.

Good defenses make all offenses look bad.
Bad defenses make all offenses look good.
Mediocre defenses make good offenses look good, and bad offenses look bad.

It really shouldn't be this difficult to grasp.

think as good an indicator as any for statistical ranking...

we werent ****ing awful or anything, but clearly not close to miami standards.

Why in God's name are you bringing stats into this. The poster above you clearly thinks only GTech's offense is competent. True, they are ranked #1 on your stat list and we held them 100 yards and 10 points under their average. And Cincy, UNC, and Duke are all ranked in the top 1/3 of NCAA offenses by that metric - which does sound like competent. And UM was ranked as the #32 defense, which sucks for UM standards but is at least okay seeming.

But these discussions can be had without any of this stat nonsense.

wow
 
Anyone defending the defense, saying it was ok or acceptable or any other bull**** like that should be ashamed of themselves. That defense we trotted out last year sucked. No not sucked compared to Goldens other bull**** years as the head coach here but sucked compared to what a good defense should actually look like. Call me when we stop lining players 5 yards deep in the end zone trying to stop a run from the one yard line. Or when we're not allowing running backs to rack up heisman numbers against us.

There was nothing acceptable about last year's defense.

There was a lot of preseason buzz about the '63 team that had George Mira as QB. He was considered a serious Heisman candidate. The team went 3-7 with an opening 24-0 beatdown by FSU.

Gonna be the same story this season with the exception that the sportswriters except Phil Steele aren't buying Al's BS. 4-8 if we're lucky. 2-10 a definite possibility.
 
The only "good" stat about our defense last year was the total defense ranking for yardage at 14th in the country. Everything else about the defense was average at best and most stats were terrible.

what's the point of UM standards if we're not going to apply them to UM football?
 
When are people going to wake up and understand that Golden wants to be fired and collect his buyout?
