I've been perplexed by the same thing this year. Like wtf is the thought here? Didn't Heatherman press everywhere else he's been?

is this mario flexing his man ***** - i.e., ordering heatherman to play off while blitzing even?

Yes, every bad play is a direct result of Mario telling a coordinator to do that very thing.

mario's teams always look and play the same cuz....mario's got nuttin to do wit it.
I have no problem with off coverage.....what do have a problem with is not knowing basic football down distance and the playcall.
It drives me crazy to allow a free release especially on 3rd downs when you know time in the pocket by the oeverything is at premium. Qbs throw to a spot or to the first down stick and we allow it everytime.
Why is the team so scared of getting beat over the top is beyond me.....especially when we bust coverage ALL THE TIME!!.

If you want to know what our 2025 exposure on defense is it's that our LBs are absolutely terrible in coverage. Honestly, the LBs in general has been pretty god awful.
We play scared.... that's the Mario mojo

If not for the defense this team would only have beaten Bethune Cookman

We get at least one wheel route on Toure, every game. Remember Heatherman saying he had to get Pruitt on the field, no matter what, anybody seen Pruitt.

As much as I love Hetherman, I'm not a fan of our passive approach in the secondary.
The amount of times we play off and/or bail is frustrating to me. Leads to easy completions on the outside.
For us... bail is a purely situational call... and it's rare. Even in "off" coverage, we kick-step so that we can drive/break on "quick game" (hitch, slant, etc) Once the WR has established himself as going vertical, the CB can run out of his kick-step.
Miami's Corners bail like they're receiving the baton in the 400m.
No reason to play so passive with big CB's who can run. Particularly frustrating seeing as both starting CB's are my kids.

no this is usually what happens when you get dcs that coached at smaller schools or schools with less talent.,...they actually think their dbs still have less talent. they take a wile to adjust....
heatheran appears to use that off covg on supposed dual threat type qbs cause he loves sending that delayed blitz at them as well.
you think the pass rush is a monster now ... imagine if when the qb does a three step drop he has to hold it because we're jamming/rerouting at the los ... you force the qb to make a tougher throw towards the sideline vs slants and crossers

probably also a reason we haven't had more turnovers
