Miami Defense

[CreativeCane]

For a moment, it looked like a Guidry coached D..

I can’t be the only one who sees when the pressure doesn’t get there somebody is open

Yeah, that’s usually what happens, especially with a blitz.

We get lost in coverage way to easy though man

Brother go look at the injury report

 

[ST26]

This is a championship level defensive line. They balled out last night, and that was without Blount and Lightfoot. Elite

We definitely need to clean up the tackling, but that will come

 

[Cribby]

What can Thornton do? Seems to me he's a good blitzer off the edge (although doesn't break down when he gets there) and there's little else to his game. Can't tackle. Can't cover.

Blitz and

 

[Cribby]

We're currently a bend but don’t break defense. Play for sacks or a holding call to get them behind the chains then tee off third and long.

 

[PennsylvaniaCane]

Up until the final minute, we had held them to 23 yards rushing on 27 carries. That is an amazing stat against a team that tries to run power.

Problem is he’s terrible at blitzing. Zero control and does zero to mask it.

He reminds me of a baby goat , once they start running all out they can only stop by crashing or falling

A lil deeper than that

 

[CaneMutiny06]

We are now #1 in the country in scoring defense.

Pure speculation because nobody knows what we’d be playing at full strength.

I mean I know what hetherman likes to play. He is a zone defense guy. He loves cover 3. They were only 43rd in pass D last year. It isn’t bad but kind of average. And even last year all the short stuff was there for offenses to take. You saw it vs louisville and smu. It could be a thing of where the guys just aren’t that good in zone. Indiana runs a similar scheme as there DC was under hetherman with cignetti at jmu and they run heavy zone too but seem to be better at it

 

[MizCane]

Herbie has seen the top teams every week. He was glazing the Canes hard last night from his view of the team. Said it was impressive especially with key players out.

 

[BS85]

People get annoyed with the bend but don't break defense within the game but it ******* works, just like it did last year. Teams cant seem to drive the whole field without getting negative plays from pur defensove line.

That’s what happens when you blitz. If you could bring extra pressure and still have every single receiver covered like a blanket, you’d have the greatest defense in the history of time.

So you have to make a choice. Don’t bring pressure and hope your defensive backs can lock on coverage for a long time or bring extra heat and make the quarterback make the quick decision every time. We don’t exactly have the lockdown cornerbacks right now to just sit in coverage.

Oversimplification

Our rush defense was elite and we played with a lead most of the season.

A majority of teams pass yards came in the fourth quarter, and our pass efficiency increased during these times. Our pass defense efficiency was in the 20s despite overall in yards being in the 40s. Which means, the yards were a result of volume not success.

 

[DTP]

They prob had 100-125 yards in passing on plays that Reynolds extended. Kid was running for his life all night and made a few plays (and got away with 1-2 as well)

It was a really impressive outing like others have said considering how we are patchwork things together with the injury bug. Keep winning, get healthy, and keep getting some of these young guys burn and we will be scary down the stretch.

There were almost zero plays where Reynolds had time to scan the field and complete a pass to an open receiver. Everything that was completed more than five yards downfield was because he scrambled around for his life just long enough for a receiver to break open. Every team needs to be able to run the scramble drill but if you’re relying on it to be your entire passing game, you’re in for a long day.

Pass efficiency defense is the real measure of a pass defense. If you give up 300 yards because you have a huge lead and the opposing quarterback threw it 55 times, your defense did it’s job.

Then the second we consistently play press man with our FS and 6th string CB against those NFL WRs last night and get beat for 6 then the tears and complaints would be stronger.

They scored 1 TD. Again, Hetherman knows what he is doing. The people complaining in the game thread saying they don’t like his scheme/style from their couch, don’t.

Get our top three CBs back, Fitz back at safety and Poyser into Thornton spot. Heatherman will then look like a savant.
