Rewatching UNC

Moonman said:
Still just the 1st qtr but a few notes:

Amari Carter reminds me of Ray Ray Armstrong. Big hitter playing downhill, but takes bad angles and misses too many tackles in the open field.

Refs allowing UNC to get away with blatant holds. At least two I've seen so far. Shaq was literally tackled from behind on the play before UNCs TD...and before that Patchan was spun around while trying to set the edge on a play that went for big yardage.

Seeing the way we handled (or mishandled) UNCs full house backfield has me a little worried about how we're gonna handle GTs rushing attack. We have to be more disciplined against GT or they'll hurt us.

I think you may be overreacting. If Richt knows how to do one thing, it's beat GT either at home or on the road, Richt beats GT.

do you think they'll run the exact same defense for GT? your premise is flawed, deeply flawed.

Stay with me here. I never mentioned anything about a defense scheme. Regardless of the defensive scheme we run against GT, our defense has to maintain gap discipline. Also, regardless of defensive scheme, we have to tackle. To your point, I do believe we will run a different defensive scheme for GT. However, if our defenders fail to play their gap and tackle. We will struggle to stop GT’s offense.

Also, if we score less points than them, they will win.

Look...even with Dumbofrio and his sorry corchness...we still would beat GT...and they actually had some players back then.
Plus CMR owns GT...facts not opinion
 
North Carolina scored 10 in the 1st quarter then got shutout the rest of the game....nuff sed!
 
Redwine misses more tackles then anybody in the open field, Carter will be fine just needs experience

Unless we sign a couple JC safeties and it doesn't seem we're recruiting any,we need to keep Carter there since he,Hall and Knowles is all we return at safety.Would like to see Frierson slide there next spring.
 
The arrogance of our fans never ceases to amaze me. The only decent team on our schedule this year was LSU, and they trounced us. I mean it was 31-0 at one point. I heard a lot of the same talk before we played them too. Every other team we have faced since sucks. Let us not start sucking each other's d1cks quite yet.
I'm not saying GT will beat us, but if our team approaches this game the same way some of our fans do they can certainly lose.

Carter misses a ton of tackles but he's a blur how fast he's going.Once he starts making contact he will be hurting people.

Right now we are not talking about the same thing. Your making a case of why we should not be concerned about GT because we have beaten them more often then beat us. That is indeed a fact, congrats. However, I am saying that a team like GT will be UNNECESSARILY (keyword here) troublesome if we do not improve our defensive gap integrity and tackling. Please do not continue to respond to my post unless you are arguing one or both of the following. 1. We shouldn’t be concerned about gap integrity and tackling because it’s not a problem. 2. We are so much better than GT that it won’t matter. If your answer is the former, I have lots of tape to show otherwise. If it’s the later, please look back to last years game and let’s discuss how we were 1 down from losing to GT at Hard Rock no less.

Are you trying to convince me that we don’t have gap disclipne and tackling concerns? I think we both watched the UNC game and can see we were getting gashed for plays that should not have worked against an otherwise dominant defense. GT’s offense is geared to get yards and burn clock. We have struggled to contain their attack when we were simply not as talented (we are now), lacked gap discipline or missed tackles. We have the talent so that not the concern, the other 2 are.

We'll revisit this the 2nd week of November.

You think our gap discipline issues translates to a tough game vs. GT.
I believe we know how to play GT, and, although our lack of discipline will give them big plays here and there, they will not have sustained success on the ground.

My point?
We shall see in November.

Let us not forget we beat GT a year ago on a last minute field goal after converting a 4th and forever prayer catch by Langham. They ran rough shod on us in the first half.

Mainly because we had a hard time sustaining drives. And they did most of their damage in the third quarter, and we defended the run pretty well we were getting smoked on passing plays when Knowles was on the field. We also gifted them a score via the onside debacle. So really the D gave up 17 pts at home in the rain vs the nerds, in my opinion if we are winning that game late at home it is more of an indictment on the offensive play than the D.

Everyone knows how to play GT until defenders have execute it with discipline and gap make tackles. We will beat GT handily if we do because we have way more talent. If we don’t, the game will be tight as GT will be able to keep our offense off the field with long drives. Our offense will be forced to be efficient with small amount of possessions we will have. Trust me, we shall see in November. But either way we win or lose base on what we do not what they do.
