I'd like to hear if you play a 4-3 defense and you opponent has a 4 wr set formation how would you guys cover it? I'd like to hear this one. As far as I know the Strong or Weak linebacker always covers the the slot receiver.

Generally, the coaches identify the offensive personnel coming onto the field and and adjust their own personnel accordingly.

Trent Harris and Tyriq McCord are pass rushers and should be rushing the passer, not covering speedy *** slot guys.

If you're in a base 4-3 and you get caught with your pants down, there has to be a safe play to audible to then you can change personnel before the next down.

You should never be caught with your pants down being that when an offensive substitution is made the referee stands over the ball and allows the defense to sub as well.

You're right but with this current staff, anything is possible.

I grad college, but I wouldn't pretend I could teach college algebra. Al and company have been exposed. Narduzzi is a college PHD professor. Al and Co. are middle school PE teachers.

That's the thing...Grantham comes in year 1 at Louisville and that defense looks better than Golden/Donofrio's year 4 defense.

True, but that doesn't tell me much about Grantham either, b/c the parts & system were in place already. Charlie Strong is the real deal.

If Dnof & Golden had inherited a great DC's defense, you'd see what they could do... oh wait. Nevermind.

Grantham's defenses at Georgia were pretty good compared to what we see as Miami fans.

Watch one of the videos in the OP.

Narduzzi goes over how his 4-3 cover 4 base handles 4 WR sets.

The corners and safeties handle the vertical routes, the LBs handle the underneath stuff.

The thing I really like about Narduzzi is that he has an attacking philosophy. Press coverage on almost every play. Tons of blitz packages from the base defense. They get after it, and I really miss that.

It's been a minute since UM was dominating the opposing line and getting to the qb on a regular basis.

 

[fresssh]

Love his defensive concepts, but what kind of coaches can he bring with him? Is he stubborn? Is he cut throat enough to fire someone who can't get the job done?

Not saying that he will be garbage, but I like having someone with some head coaching experience. I remember when there was this hot name coordinator out at Texas that everyone thought would make a great head coach. His name was Muschamp, and I wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot pole now that I have seen him as a head coach.

You rather have our head coach? :/

Muschamp would at least have a bad *** defense here.

 

[CaniacMike21]

Would he bring the Spartans craptastic offense with him though? I know he's a defense guy and he's one of the best in the biz, but who would he bring in for offense? That's my concern.

 

[Problem2]

Hire Narduzzi and IDGAF about our offense. He'll have these savages destroying teams.

 

[Chuckles]

I'm really starting to believe this is the right coach for the U we need a real X and O defensive minded coach his defensive scheme with this south Florida talent would be unstoppable.

How can a defense be unstoppable? Also, can we stop with south Florida talent having some collection of athletes that is superior to the nation. Top defenses don't have these superior south florida athletes and do just fine.

LOL. :sanford:Stop it! Just stop it! You can't expect folks here to be both fluent in English and in reason.

#bring back our old icons

 

[LuCane]

This may be a dumb question but I am not an XOs guy. Doesn't Read Option an athletic TE or a mobile QB upend this approach?

Gap exchange. Guys would be flying through gaps. It's always better for OL to be thinking. Not defenders.

 

[LuCane]

His defensive philosophy indicates he's quite practical and willing to adjust. He's a solid Xs and Os guy. Solid Xs and Os guys know how to hire solid Xs and Os guy. Solid Xs and Os guys who are also practical and have leadership attributes simply make **** happen. They're also pretty f'in rare.

Have you heard of a Nickel package?

Don't let Narduzzi fool you: his defense is extremely simple, but he's also a master of 3rd down blitzes out of his nickel package. Creative as **** and aggressive. Dude basically took what Tommy Tubbs taught him at a clinic in Miami and then added a few twists and a sick 3rd down blitz package.

 

[FullyERicht]

Wasn't he the one that came down to Miami to learn the system he runs?

Correct. He runs the Miami 4-3, with quarters coverage. His additions include that he presses his corners out of quarters, and he plays the safeties closer to the box and has a 9 man box essentially. It's basically the 2-high over front version of what Pete Carroll does in Seattle and it's brilliant.

 

[JHallCanes]

Narduzzi's description of his simple, yet flexible defense where he puts players in the simplest positions to made adjustments made me want to hug him. Still for the life of me why you recruit a hotbed of talent that can barely qualify for school, and then give them a defense that they cant grasp after 4 ******* years. So you go to New Jersey to supplement it and the kids cant ******* hack it.

Get the whole thing out of my face.

Its fundamental principle is what I truly appreciate: "force quick decisions." How simple and effective. While everyone may talk about the defense's simplicity, this dude actually disguises the **** out of his pressure. Because a lot of his sets "look the same" but with different calls, it's a real cluster**** for a college QB to process.

 

[FullyERicht]

Also, if they are in base and they get a 4 wide look: the safeties cover the inside deep receivers, the corners cover the outside deep receivers. The linebackers are responsible for any routes to the flat and the short middle. The corners pressing also prevents quick screens to wideouts, which is a weakness of the old school quarters defense.

It's the exact opposite philosophy of Golden. They take away everything easy and the throws they are vulnerable to are the throws that are the absolute hardest for QBs to make (deep outs).

 

[DiegoCane]

That is always a concern of mine as well. But at least we would be extremely good on one side of the ball, we are mediocre on both now.

I know I'm getting repetitive but that is why I like Mark Stoops. Defensive guy who would bring Neal Brown with him. A young OC, who runs a spread and has had success on his own in the past.

If you took all the 1,000 things that are clearly running through our players minds, do you really think Denzel Perryman would be standing 7 yards off the ball with two guys right next to him, while Louisville is in a goal line offense on 3rd and 2 from the 15?

**** no. You give him flexibility and he does what he's done since he was three years old probably.
