terrible eyes and misunderstanding responsibilities ... i've wanted to post this about jefferson for a few weeks, but i chilled on it ... but some of this stuff is egregious ... the td against o'connor was terrible ... he was 15 yards off the ball on the snap, and still got beat, that's bad feet/technique

but weve also seen o'connor have some some great games this yr while looking like our best corner so im not sure he's recieving bad coaching but it was just a terrible rep by him he was convinced it was a post route and got cooked.

we’ve been down 4 of our top 5 corners by week two and we’re still undefeated

that's surface analysis ... injuries are part of the game ... go back and watch some of the technique and leverage ... or lack there of
 
1. Our CB commits are ELITE asf.
2. We’ve had our top 3 CBs out most of the year.
3. The Hail Mary defense complaints are legit. Wtf is going on there? It’s a low percentage play being competed at far too high a percentage against us.
4. We are stopping the run at an elite clip. I meant ion this because…..
5. Most importantly, we’ve jumped out to fairly large leads against just about every opponent this year. This leads to the other team having to pass a lot. You can counter argue back that because we are up large and know the opponent will be passing we should perform better. Fat remains that large leads means the other team is passing more.

Not disputing that there’s room for improvement with technique and understanding/awareness. But let’s keep it all in perspective.

We gave up these passing yards to these teams
Wake- 312
Clemson -295
FSU - 305
Pitt- 334.

Aside from Ashton Daniels who threw for 377 against Alabama. All of these qbs had their biggest games passing against us. Let’s see how we end the season. I think we will get better if we get OJ and Antoine back.

Pitt ran it 26 times and passed 35. It would be interesting to see what the run to pass ratio is with all our games because no one has been able to run on us and have to throw gain yards.
 
I'm confident we figure it out, but we have not really played any quality QBs other than Warren and Lopez. CMU was a running qb, Clemson was a freshman whose first instinct was to run, Daniels is streaky and Pitt it was a guy only getting his second start in 5 years.

Yes, we are tops in run defense but what happens when a team just comes in and say forget the run and start throwing it all over the yard from their first snap. I know Wake wished they would have started the game like they called plays in the second half.........

Just keeping working on it, and hopefully health improves things into Nov.

fair ... but let's look the qbs we've faced
davis warren
armond parker
gio lopez
angel flores
tate reynolds
ashton daniels
holden geriner

not one (save lopez) is a cfp qb ... we are currenty
107th in passing yds allowed
55th in passing defense efficiency

what happens when the level of qb play increases? also, does it feel like we're improving? i actually see more improvement on the oline than i do in the secondary

Numbers are what they are, but for context we’ve jumped to early leads in most games & teams rack up passing yardage playing from behind. That’s not to say secondary play has been wonderful.
