I‘m sure they’ll test us , I mean I’m sure they watched UNC. They have a completely new offense and skill guys so it would be smart to lean on their ol with a new qb. Especially early. We’ll come out in our base and go from there.

I think the big thing is, and I hope its because Simpson can take over that DL room without worry, is that dame pulling OL via CTR treys and powers, the DL had no idea what to do!

If they recognize that and start wrong arming the puller and/or smash the eff out of them (i.e., go and meet them) instead of just getting worried about going vertical and taking themselves out of the play, then I think we have a swingers chance.

When teams ran only zone, i.e., tight and wide, regardless or who gets the ball we did pretty good vs whichever team that was against the run, see Vtech.
If those teams that have pullers we get butt-effed.

Agree,last couple DE classes have been average at best.We've been fortunate to have above average to elite DEs since Diaz took over but he will need to hit the portal hard for a difference maker,specially if we miss on the 4 2022 south florida studs.

So Harvey, Chantz, Nyjalik, Shamar, Ishamel for 2022 no portal is necessary, but I'm confident in 13, 33, and 12 for this season

I don’t think Zach’s problem is tackling or setting the edge. His issue at LB was play recognition/diagnosis, coverage & lack of lateral quickness/speed.

I hear ya but my last image of Zach playing was in the bowl game against Ok St. and he was playing DE and got torched hard... So that's where my head is at with it....

This is Diaz being gimmicky or incredibly smart. Not sure which one.

I hope they can stop the run with 5 DB’s.

Just to be clear I expect base if its a run set / power look, short yardage or even three wide. The creativity and what I’m exited about is versus spread sets or obvious pass downs. Im sure we won’t defend Bama anything like say a more finesse /pass happy team. That was a blanket statement by me without knowing what formations Bama will use.

I actually think the run d will be better this season versus last. I expect more discipline , not as much free lancing. If our pass rush is going to be successful we’ll need more from the interior. I do believe the blitz numbers will increase as well as man. It’ll definitely look a little different.

Wow. You are delusional and must be trolling. No one agrees with you. I mean, these are seriously bad takes.

Sentence #1 Everyone hates Pope, but he isn’t a bad football player (I agree, but let’s just say U are correct because that take is justifiable): False.

Sentence #2 LB Jennings shouldn’t see the field, not even in the 2 deep: True

Sentence #3 LBs Cave, Huff and Brooks should play before Jennings does: True.

Sentence: #4 I can’t believe they kept playing Jennings and didn’t change the scheme against UNC’s run: True.

Sentence #5 Dantonio was laughing: Understandably True.

Sentence: #6 Slot is the best position for Pope and glad he is finally going to play it: True.

Sentence #7 Everyone is on Restrepo’s ****, he hasn’t done anything in a real game: True.

Sentence #8 Pope has made plays in real games: True.

So this is just one big conspiracy carried out by our coaches to keep better players off of the field? Makes sense.

a lot of this reaction is dumb.

Carter is good at striker. Not great but good. And he’s heavier than Frierson.

DBs look right. One stud and two pretty good players

As I have mentioned JHH is a potential beast. Rate physical gifts. Just needed to be coached.

On offense…
I see a lineup that is fast, talented and mostly proven on offense. We lost a really good TE that was hurt for 40% of last year. Other than that…

We win the turnover battle, this game is interesting in the 4th qtr.

Saying I hope to see the young talent emerge towards the top of the depth chart is dumb?

plus where did I mention Carter? Seems like a new face at that spot to me. Dumbass. We have places to improve how can you watch the games and not say that? ****, LB and and OL improvement would make this team competitive vs the top teams instantly.

You can look at the highlights from spring and fall camp and can tell Restrepo is twice the player Pope is… this ain’t rocket science here

He could be, I certainly hope so. I watched him drop a couple passes in drills, reportedly bobbled another into the arms of TAC for a pick 6, and had another drop during one of those scrimmage hype videos. It’s definitely not rocket science, just football.

Is there a difference between practice and live games?
