We have enough talent to be at least average or above it, but why is our defense performing so poorly , specially if Manny is he true defensive coordinator ?

When Manny was DC '16-18. He benefited from the entire coastal having limp **** offenses. The very few times we encountered a functional offense/qb - he got exposed everytime. Including group of 5 schools like Toledo in 2017.

Now the coastal & ACC have plenty of above average QB's and it's just a continuation of him getting exposed.

same scheme, got figured out to an extent, and also lost his NFL Des which has limited the pass rush which is really what we bank on. I also think hes really missing a Quan type S back there which he hasn't had since he left to the league

Shi* - I forgot about that Toledo game
 
His poor scheme, lack of recruiting/evaluating/developing, valuation of seniority/being one of his guys, and weak culture create the perfect storm.

Every year the best players are transfers.

Freshmen who show promise regress each year.

Everything he does is the wrong way to do things.
 
1. Bad player personnel choices: Ivey, Jennings, Hall
2. Lack of talent at DE
3. Lack of talent at LB
4. Very young elite talents at S and experienced S playing poorly.
5. DT talent isn't elite and the young elite kid wasn't getting snaps until recently.
6. Lack of quality depth at CB.

I don't see an answer in our '22 class for DE or LB. S play should continue to improve IF JW is coachable. CB should improve in '22 with the big class coming in. DT should improve with LT getting more snaps.

FIU, GaTech, LaTech, OK St, near loss to directional Mich school

Mich St 4th quarter

UNC times 3

The instances where a Manny led defense gets owned are a lot more compared to a Manny led defense dominating

You act like this is new
 
Tackling is clearly not being emphasized, Diaz plays our D backs 10 yards off the ball literally conceding 5-7 yards off the bat, our d line isn't staunch enough against the run and our linebacking corps just ain't cutting the mustard.
 
Scheme is trash.

Manny doesn't give a schit about leverage or contain.

Against runnin QB's we rush 8 yards past the QB so he's usually free to pick easy yardage

Communication on the back end is usually bad, pre Williams/KK

You get a free release, you get a free release, everyone gets a free release.

The most obvious blitzes, that start 20 yards back.

Slow, robotic LB play.

Poor DE play


7 on 7 tackling

I'd add to this list that the blueprint is now readily available for attacking this defense.
