agreed. Dudes out there thinking we can win big with guys like Bethel and Patchan startingFan base is as bad as our record the last 20 games.

The real controversy shouldn't be on why Patchan, the most consistent DL this season, isn't riding the pine. The real controversy is why Greg hasn't supplanted Garvin yet as a starter. I literally feel like every time Rousseau isn't on the field is a wasted opportunity.
We often had that problem with a 4-3 attacking scheme. I remember FSU in the '80's running huge chunks inside of Danny Stubbs who was way upfield. I guess it's a dilemma of running an attacking defense. Under Manny-Blake we seem to be doing a lot of new things. Sometimes I feel like we're in a 3-4, mixing schemes on different plays, sometimes rushing and attacking with four or more, sometimes sitting back with some of our linemen.I wonder if it is a scheme thing or a talent issue. Would like our local media to actually ask better questions like this. We have been great against the run as opposed to past years. Maybe Baker doesn’t want our guys attacking so hard up field and giving up huge holes for running lanes?
I think they caught us flat-footed and not knowing exactly what to do. Partly the result of inexperience. Go back and look at that play. I think one of our DEs, maybe Patchan didn't even rush. Looked confused.Not knocking Patchan but the whole line.when a qb has time to complete a 4th &17 with or without a blitz that tells you all what you need to know.our dline has to step it up.qb should never have the time against a good dline to complete it.
Patchan has been solid, people undervalue his run defense. Not sure why he has haters on here. Also I'm sure one big reason Patchan is starting is cause he's a way better tackler than Rosseau. He's missed a lot of tackles in 3 games. Why isn't this ever talked about?
Patchan isn't the reason we're stopping the run. In fact, if you watch the UNC game, their only big runs were because he didn't hold contain. They specifically targeted his end on the jet sweeps because he could hold the edge. To give patchan credit for UM stopping the run is simply ignorant.
Of course it doesn't look as disruptive. We don't have a Willis/McIntosh type tackle that creates consistent inside pressure. So we end up getting cute with stunts or send a LB. Meanwhile when the DEs penetrate, they're vulnerable to the read option with no LB scraping in for support.Its the defense as a whole. The defense doesn't look to be as disruptive(especially d-line) as it has since diaz has been dc. Even he said that only 2 sacks and 8tfls vs bethune isn't good enough.
bro, people don't know wtf they're talking about 90% of the time. they wanna see lots of pretty colors and 1000 yards of offense to determine if the team is good or not.
we have imbeciles here saying garvin is overrated. lol even though we're the ones that "rated" him, but he's overrated. people are morons.
He deserves no credit for UM’s run defense being stout?
This is laughable.
Your knowledge of football is laughable. DTs are there to protect LBs and help stop the run. DEs are meant to get up the field and apply pressure. Something he hasn’t done at all
Yes and that’s exactly where patchman was exposed over and over again against UNC.ah, so DE's play no role at all in stopping the run? no setting the edge and forcing plays inside for the LB's to make plays, anything like that? thanks for dropping that knowledge bro!

Poor pass rush and slow the stop jet sweeps or outside runs. But keep preaching his gospel and we’ll all laugh
What needs to be talked about is Blissett making the first two plays he was in one being for a loss. Good production for on 6 plays.It’s never talked about because it doesn’t fit the picture the Patchan haters are trying to paint.
He graded out horribly against Bethune what are you talking aboutNot true. Patchan was strong against the run and put pressure on the QB and graded out well in both of those games. Bethel did what he does - provided consistency.
sure, lets bench the most productive DL of the season so far. are people actually calling for pathan to be benched?
