How are you a UM fan thinking your rival is going to win... period??

Uhhhh Im being objective its called keepin it real, if u come home and here ya girl moaning in the bedroom will u sit in the living and say to urself shes not gettin fuqed and close ur eyes when he leaves so it didnt happen? I just think they are a better team right now and I hope we win and they prove me wrong but Ill be just excited as u. Im not rooting for me to be right but if someone asks me I would favor them in this game, if I was rooting for VT then thats a whole different thing.
 
Remember when Diaz first got here and he said our defense is a 4-3 or 4-2-5 depending whether our 5th best DB is better then our 3rd best LB? Well our 5th DB is better then our 3rd, 4th, and 5th best LB. Manny's ability to coach and development LB has been exposed this year.

One thing he did great in the Cuse game was he played nickel with McCloud sitting and Bandy in which we did well with
 
It's redwines and Carters first season at safety, and we pretty much have a completely new secondary. Not trying to make excuses but it is what it is. Jaquan and Malek (2 years in the system) have looked the best. No coincidence.

The linebackers on the other hand have no excuse for their fall off. I suspect that Carter, Jenkins, and corn elder covered up a lot of mistakes made by the linebacker group.

Diaz isn't exactly a linebacker guru, and his system is designed to create chaos at all costs. As a result, we will look bad at times – it's just inevitable. He's the Shaka Smart of CFB.

The frustrating thing is that these are the most coachable/fundamental things, you're not asking guys to be Ray Lewis or Ed Reed, this is literally about just doing the most basic things in terms of filling gaps and hovering around certain areas (like an outfielder backing up one another). You're not asking guys to be great, you're asking them to be sound - which are two completely different things. From game one this Miami defense(which brought back the bulk of their front 7) has had poor gap integrity and make some of the most basic mistakes that a good high school coach wouldn't accept

The fact this stuff hasn't been cleaned up so late into the season, to me, is on the coaches

I think that RJ is the most consistent player on our defense he is irreplaceable right now, he causes havoc. And even when he does his job the LBs arent filling the lanes properly and are always caught looking in the gap they arent responsible for, I think it has alot to do with trust it has to be. If ur playing defense and u dont trust the guy next to u, u start to feel like u have to keep and eye on there job and do it for them and then the whole defense suffers

This is why we need to go after Louis Bonnito Joyner Abdullah, got to flip these kids man we have too. We need linebackers that are hybrids and jump off the film and these guys can push the trio we have now, and whoever wants to transfer (the freshmen class now) so be it. Thats how u build a elite defense u recruit guys who u think can replace what u have already so there wont be a drop off

Agree about trust being an issue. They also look confused at times. I've seen 2 LBs fill the same gap on multiple occasions. That's on Diaz.

This may not relate to the video's you posted, but Im not a huge fan of the way we've used Joe Jackson this season( standing up, covering out in the flat, etc) To me, edge rusher of his ability are rare, let him do what he does best. Keep it simple - let him come off the edge and wreck havoc on QB's.

I rewatched the game and I swear to god Hayden ******* Mahoney straight up singlehandedly blew at least like 5 run plays and 3 pass plays all by himself - and I think I'm being generous towards him!. I literally couldn't believe that he played like 75% of the game. Dude literally has to be one of the weakest OL on our team because the DL made him their bytch. Do not let him play vs VTechs Defense, they'll eat his soul. KC McDermott got beat a couple of times as well, but hes obviously our best LT. Gaynor got his *** beat a few times too. Like Idk whats up with our OL letting the DTs cross their face so **** easily. Like holy ****, in this run blocking scheme thats all you need to not let the DL do. **** man, Darling and Donaldson need to stay healthy. I have no idea why they were rarely in, but its not good.

Also Idk whats up with Ahmmon Richards but he needs to step the **** up. Last game he was terrible. And this game he was pretty bad, and it seemed like he wasn't giving a great effort. Richt needs to force some more plays to him, and Idk why when we get in the redzone he comes out for Langham. Langham and Richards should both be on the field in the Redzone, and Jeff Thomas should come out the game. But I'm really liking JT4 and Berrios on one side with Herndon inline or split out with Richards.

Second thing I saw was that Redwine did not have a good 1st half. He made a few solid plays in the 2nd half, but he was responsible for at least 4 big plays by UNC's offense. and he's terrible at keeping contain. Redwine has been a solid safety for us this season as a whole, and he's definitely MUCH better than that scrub Knowles, but man do we need Jobe and Hall to come in and be ready to play.

Perry and Owens played okay for like 75% of their snaps, But **** man, they miss so many ******* plays, I really don't get why they are always on the field so **** much. Owens had one of the worst missed tackles I've ever seen. Charles Perry got a pick but hes completely responsible for their 2nd TD. These backup LBs and Safeties are infuriating. McClouds been getting a lot of **** for ******* up a few plays a game, but I don't think he played all that terrible this game. He had 2 bs roughing passers on him that shouldn't have been fouls. McCloud is still way better than the backups.

I think one of my main takeaways is that very often it is just one guy ******** up the entire ******* play on offense. Its really not the scheme thats the problem all that often. A lot of Times its just Rosier making a stupid read or being inaccurate when he has guys open. In this game particularly, a single OLman would completely **** up the blocking. And sometimes a WR will drop the ball. Its honestly just one player messing the play up really badly most of the time. Defensively I'm starting to get pretty annoyed with all the DL stunts. Like straight up we dominate teams when we just let our 4 guys get to the QB. And a lot of time we lose contain on the qb, its due to the stunts or the LB blitzing in once he sees that the RB is staying in to block (instead of just spying qb or something). I'm not saying be less aggressive. I'm down for all the blitzing we do. **** im even okay with all the zone blitzing that makes Joe Jackson drop back. But the DL stunts are really starting to become a detriment.

I'd like to see Diaz play more to take away the run this week. The LB's seem to be trying to make explosive plays every time, but a lot of times at the expense of leaving themselves out of position and playing out of control. It almost looks like they're trying too hard, instead of playing within the defense.

Richards looked, in the Syracuse game, like he was doing the same. He and the LB's had so much success as freshmen, that it looks like they aren't trusting that they will naturally make plays. They just need to do their jobs and stop trying to do too much.

Nah u being a groupie which is all you do on this board that **** u talkn about is irrelevant.
 
Good stuff. Ref LBs in wrong gaps. How do we know what gap they are assigned too? Diaz said in recent interview (on last week Cane insider on wqam I think) that, as I understood it, he has LBs filling certain gaps on left or right side of ball to create a numbers advantage on that side for the D. If I understood him right, that may be why it looks like we are sometimes over pursuing to the wrong gap? Anyone else hear that interview that understands it better than me?
 
Lol these clowns think these fake "analytical" reasons they choose to suck off every other school including our rivals, some how makes since in there warped minds. Lol make sure u get your Notre dame gear ready for next week. I know ur dying to swallow their nuts regardless of the outcome of this game.
 
I dont see how these guys were playing gap sound D as true FR but this year it's straight over pursuit and wrong gaps. I don't get it.

RJ has been an absolute beast, by far our best defensive player all year. Would love to have him back next year, not holding my breath

Wow McCloud in that 3rd video...
That looked like everything he has done all year. It stands out because of his responsibilities, but all our LBs have overrun plays or gotten caught in the wash at some point this season. Great video to show what's been happening throughout the year with the "gash" plays.

One difference is last year you had Jamal Carter, who wasn't awesome in space 12 yards away from the LOS, be very solid at or near the LOS. Jenkins was also very solid in the alley. In a defense with so much upfield work and where LBs are visibly in overpursuit, Safeties really matter. Diaz can't change the Safeties we have, so this one is on him - not from a scheme standpoint, but moreso from a teaching standpoint. If the player isn't doing what he's repped to do for whatever reason, put someone else in. If that player can't do it, teach better.

Schematically, in videos shown, the players were in the right place to make the plays. We gotta figure out how to get them to execute consistently. That should be the debate on this thread: is it on players executing or coaches teaching? I always lean toward coaching accountability because they're getting paid.

Corn Elder, Jamal Carter, and Reyshawn Jenkins.

But if its a read option he cant break containment
