Number 16 Total Defense???????

[WhatTheHell]

Defense won the Duke game, you have to give them that. But to be fair, Duke is 5-1 against the 134th ranked schedule in the country. You read that correctly -- 134.

In our 3 losses this year the defense's averages:

33 points per game (96th nationally)
387 total yards per game (62nd nationally)
265 rush yards per game (118th nationally)
122 pass yards per game (2nd nationally)
59% 3rd down % (125th nationally, dead last)


The stats reflect what we all saw in our losses. A head coach terrified of allowing a big play, and instead hoping that the opposing offense would make a mistake instead of forcing one. We were defending any deep play so much that it compromised our numbers in the box, and our choice not to send blitzes or attack the gaps and get into the backfield paved the way for teams to run up and down the field on us.

This created easy 3rd and shorts. The coaching blunders so far this season have been humiliating. Miami went from a renegade program to one that is passive and scared from top to bottom.

Miami has played more plays that anyone ranked in the top 50 defenses. interesting stat imo. We have played 550 plays on D. Other top 25 defenses have played about 350 plays

3rd from the bottom in converting 3rd downs

Tied for 3rd from the bottom in turnovers

78th in 3rd downs allowed

Offense can't stay ON the field. Defense can't get off it. Offense gives the opposition more possessions.

That's why your defense winds up playing far more plays than it should.

Its the defense's job to get off the field. Period. When they stop blaming this and that for their failures maybe they will play better. The offense has scored on almost every opening drive this season, the defense has allowed the other team to do the same almost every time. We scored on our two first drives on GT, Our defense allowed them to do the same. Its their fault they are on the field forever. Moving like robots, no instincts at all. No one to make a play, sniff out what the other team is doing. Terrible on first and second down. no tfl, no sacks. Main reason they cant get off the field. Nothing to do with the offense.

No one was absolving the defense of blame...but to ignore the 3rd percentage and its effect on the defense is asinine.

Both units are at fault.

People around get so defensive about the defense man lol

No matter how long you sit on the sideline and drink Gatorade, if you allow the other team to pick up 5,6,7 yards every first down....you are not getting off the field. 105 in tfls. We led the country before Golden got here.

Who needs to pass against us when you can run every down against the same defensive look each play??

My God.

I already said that the defense doesn't get off the field.

Go lie down. You're arguing for no reason.

 

[SevenNSeven]

The important stat is wins and losses. In my opinion, the defense has cost us both the Nebraska and GT games this year.

[CaneandAbel]

Just wait until Dorito has to face UNC, FSU and Pitt.

Ill give you FSU. But I dont get the UNC and Pitt.

 

[Hurracanes]

Remember the days we were a top 10 D every year?

 

[pb5cane]

Who needs to pass against us when you can run every down against the same defensive look each play??

This. Whether you're on the 50 or our goal line

 

[ball915]

Take out FAMU and even Ark St if you want to and get the real numbers......we'd drop pretty far against FBS schools only.

 

[Cane Dynasty]

Is there a stat somewhere of what percentage of our defensive 3rd downs are 3yds to go or less?

It feels like we rarely force 3rd and long and then we rarely stop them.

Chip Caray and Jim Grobe did our game

Correct. Brock Huard doesn't call every Canes game. His streak of three in a row ended, like our fortunes against Georgia Tech.

Jim Grobe emphasized that #16 rating several times, saying he thought the criticism was unjust. He said the defense gave too much cushion early against Cincinnati but was impressed when it tightened. He basically repeated various versions of that throughout the remainder of the game.

Chip Caray and Jim Grobe did our game

And they really sucked, Grobe was an infatuated with Miami, but then again he was coach at Wake Forest, the program Miami aspires to become under this current regime.

 

[Consigliere]

I got some fun stats. We're 4-3 (1-2). Our average loss is by 13 points.

We have 3 games left on the schedule in which Al's record is 2-7 (FSU, UVA and VT).

Hooray #16 Total Defense which has allowed 100 points in our 3 losses.

Made me miss Brock Huard.

Grobe needs to stay out of the booth.

Grobe is to broadcasting as No D is to defensive football
