Tackling against AppState

Can somebody tell me why we take Steed and Jennings and blitz them all the way around the left side so often? They have no chance of getting there or pressuring anybody

Great points, I should have said “the marriage between Lashlee and King” has failed through two games. I can’t understand the massive regression.

HC Sonny Dykes, from the Leach 'Air Raid' tree, is more responsible for SMU's offense than Lashlee. As was HC Guz Malzhan at Auburn.

Per PFF, through 2 games we are 128 of 130 teams in tackling, ahead of Texas State & Louisiana.

Tackling was rated a 46.0 vs Bama and a 39.3 vs APP. So if you trust PFF, we were worse vs App.

I was going to say, I thought we looked like **** tackling.

Yet at the end of the day, the defense only gave up 15 points. Folks are standing around complaining at a dead spot in the grass in the yard instead of noticing the smoke pouring out of the windows of the house. Miami's offense is currently 111th in the country despite having a QB that was responsible for over 50 TDs a couple years ago.

I keep seeing thread after thread about Diaz's defense. I've seen a bunch of other threads asking what is wrong with D'Eriq King. Lashlee is the Teflon Don. I don't understand how he has hypnotized so many people and convinced them to focus on the defense.

I thought the D was fine. sure we had miscues, but it was more than enough and more than fine to blow out App State. Offense couldn't do **** and kept the game close. easier to blame the D bc manny's side is there. the issue even from Bama is the O. we aren't even remotely useful on offense.

I believe the vast majority of us thought we see a lot different from Lashlee than what we’ve seen so far. I’m dumbfounded by his play calling as I know many others are as well.

its both king and Lashlee. lash isn't doing king favors with the O (king can't run an RPO for his life) and king isn't doing Lash any favors by not making the reads that are there.

Felt like they didn't miss any tackles most of the game so I believe that.

Hall is a better tackler than Bolden. Somebody has to say it. Bolden has been meh since the second half of last year.

Overhyped....

Bolden lead us in tackles against App State. (Hall was second) That said, Bolden has to tackle and defend the deep ball and all Hall can do is come up and tackle with the clean up plays. He gives us nothing else. Bolden essentially has two important keys where Hall has 2 as well but only excels at one which makes Boldens job that much harder IMO. Redwine would not have looked as good at FS for us those last 2 years if Jaquan wasnt exceling at run support and pass defense. Its unfair to put that much on the FS. (in this case, Bolden)

It was better. But tackling Bama's athletes vs App State's……..

Better? I guess so but there were still many missed tackles and bad angles. People in my section kept screaming “tackle” all night long because App State wasn’t going down.

Abysmal and has been for years.
Its football not brain surgery. Manny needs to go back to basics.

Just one man's opinion...

Bolden > Hall? Agreed.

My main point wasn't that Hall was the better player but he is a better tackler. And, while Hall is often criticized (and deservedly so), Bolden is often praised and considered by many the best safety in the ACC. He hasn't played up to his billing since the final few games of last year.

Think you meant Bolden is praised and considered one of best safeties in ACC. And yes i agree with your comment he is no way deserves any of that. Hall is meh in coverage but cleans up and saves our *** on a lot of runs cause our LB's do literally nothing but eat blocks
