Post Scrimmage Interview

IF Jennings & Steed can remain healthy that gives us a shìt ton of depth at LB.

McCloud, Brooks, Huff, Joyner, Jennings, Steed, Flagg Jr & Tirek Austin-Cave is a 8 deep for 2 LB spots.

We have enough depth (if they're all healthy) to run Multiple LB sets, we could ideally have some traditional 4-3 packages we could lineup with on run downs, or even go with some 3-3-5 sets on down & distance.

And Brooks & TAC in particular are atheltic enough & have the natural fluid hips & feet to drop back in coverage if necessary.

It all just boils down to what Baker wants to do with these backers, if he can be a little more creative that just jailbreak & stunt Blitzes we can use all these LB's we got to help strengthen our consistency in coverage & overall approach as a Defense instead of just being overly feast or famine too much.

Yeah we need to run some 4-3 with all these linebackers. Too many guys that can play to have them sitting the bench trying to find reps in a 4-2-5 only defense.

I'm pumped for this offense bc from the reports, at least 3 freshmen scored touchdowns. Maybe more. This offense will grind up the teams on our schedule.

But come on. The defense has always been curbstomped since Diaz got here against any level of real coaching and competition. Wisconsin x2 and Clemson. VT, Louisville, and FIU just last year.

Offense probably scored 8 or 9 touchdowns in the scrimmage and ONE freshman DB got a pick...

Some of yall need to realize that Clemson can and might score 50+ against us this year. TWICE.

The defense actually having an offense that for once scores points and let's them pin their ears back, attack with a lead will make a world of difference for them as a unit.

Manny sleeping well tonight knowing his Offense is in good hands and can keep his eye on Baker and the D. That is a good thing.

hopefully it’s cause this offense is finally good. This defense probably wasn’t ready for the tempo and movement.

look what Louisville did to us last year. This defense isn’t elite. Every time we faced a good offense we get torched for points in Diaz’s career

Louisville scored 27 pts.. that’s not getting torched... college football is about scoring points. A lot of teams score a lot of points now... this isn’t the 90’s

Well at least we'll know where we stand with Clemson right? I mean at least we're willing to take on the bully unlike that team in Gainesville who cried about having to play Bama
 
The defense is normally ahead of the offense early. They've been saying this offense is easy to learn, one of the main benefits, because the kids aren't slowed down thinking or making "mentals". It will be good for the defense to go against this every day in practice, especially facing teams like Clemson.

it's a team sport ... offense and defense feed off each other ... i like our chances vs anyone with king at qb ... he gives us a confidence we haven't had since ......... dorsey

Yep. I’m on the Flagg train as well. Too many people get caught up in a certain body type - if a backer isnt shredded like a Jeff Luc 5 star, hes immediately clowned. Flagg, because of his body type, was clowned on here for months.

Give me the instinctual football junkie who has done nothing but produce all day every day over a “passes the eye test body wise” 5 star.

Plant that Flagg!

Unc almost beat Clemson last year. Anybody can beat anybody. People will say Clemson was sleeping well it’s their fault they where sleeping and almost lost. Anybody can beat anybody any day. We have a shot at beating Clemson we just need to show up every play

Looks like the Diaz/Baker gimmick defense got harshly introduced to 21st century football.

Those touchdowns were likely against the second team so let’s stop the foolishness. I really don’t think some of yah ever played the game or understand the game. If defense dominates yah complain about the offense, if offense dominates yah complain about the defense...it’s **** if U do and **** if U don’t with U fans. Furthermore, Diaz was pleased with how defense played as well. He never said defense played horrible, there were plays on both sides (like it should be in a scrimmage).
