Would be nice if pur DB's would watch the ball

I have been told repeatedly not to worry about Mike Rumph being an absolute abortion as a recruiter because he's a GREAT coach.

We can do better at so many spots on this coaching roster. We are operating at a major disadvantage with guys like Brown/Richt at OC, Richt Jr, Rumph, Hartley as STC, etc. Kul better be all he's cracked up to be as a technician, too, given the direction our talent is heading at DT. For all the hype, Clemson and Wisconsin just raped his line full of NFL players.

Folks want to be optimistic but we were two Langham miracles from being a 5 loss team, point blank. These guys just aren't very good.

And now they will all be given the benefit of the doubt by the administration and most fans because we have a ten win season. The reality is we have a very green coaching staff. One spot literally went to the coaches completely unqualified son and our QB play has been predictably atrocious.

Miami should have a top 5 group of DBs EVERY SINGLE YEAR. That's the benefit of recruiting in Dade County. You can't let all the great recruits leave because you're a "great coach" and then have your guys out there looking lost.

Pitt also.
 
I try not to get frustrated when that stuff happens cause I know how difficult it is for a DB...
But at some point I have to think that we're not even being taught to look back. We haven't done it all season.

It’s the DB’s. There’s no way you can tell me that Rumph is teaching them that because his time at AH says otherwise. There’s no way you can tell me a guy who used to play majority press Coverage at Heritage and you have tape of them turning their heads but then he comes to UM and all of a sudden he doesn’t teach that anymore.

Yea I know. If I was getting held like they were the entire game, I would’ve filed charges for sexual assault.

Not sure if you're paying attention or not but you better get used to it. That's part of life for us. We can make excuses or get better.

Get better at what? Being more efficient on offense and our defensive sub packages? We got 6 holding penalties all year...are you paying attention? We out rushed these guys and we out rushed Clemson. The only problems these games shared was inefficiency especially while passing and lack of calls which btw has plagued us all season and the latter gifted Wisconsin 17 points.

That is the difference between elite DBs and our DBs. We pick play the receiver and lose the ball, rather than play the ball and lose the receiver. Elite DBs can do both. Hopefully TC comes and he is everything he's cracked up to be.
 
Back shoulder throws are incredibly difficult to defend. We were in a great position all night in man-to-man coverage and they made every single play on their back shoulder throws. Sometimes there's just nothing you can do on those.
I disagree. Our corners are poorly coached. You have to turn and find the ball and they failed on all 4 TD passes. Backshoulder, Fades, Post, Rub. If the db would have bothered to find the ball in either of those they either break up or intercept. Bad technique in coverage every play really. Hence why we don’t get off the field.

You can disagree all you want. Turning your head to find the football is something taught since pee wee football. The techniques are miles better than they were with Paul Williams and yea Coach Rumph is teaching them turn their head...his CB’s were turning their head at AH when he was there, Trajan turns his head all the time, Mike Jackson turns his head, and so does Jaquan...Rumph can’t stop time and run on to the field to turn their head for them.
none of them turned and found the ball Saturday.

The one where a pedestrian QB threw four touchdowns to slow receivers and our defensive backs ran with them stride for stride yet kept their eyes glued to their man.

So you watched them avoid Mike Jackson and you watched them attack one side of the field the entire game....and specifically Dee Delaney. Let me guess revisionist history kind of guy?

I watched them attack Delaney, Jaquan, Redwine, Smith, Bamdy, and Jackson. The first 4 where by far the worst. But all our db’s lacked technique our there. Don’t get me started on the leg diving they call a
tackle. My coach used to call those prayer tackles, as you took your eyes off the ballcarrier and prayed you get the tackle.

Maybe looking back at the ball while sticking to the receiver is hard to do and requires really talented DB? I don't know, someone may have a better insight.

Glad I’m not the only one who noticed. So frustrating. Our secondary needs serious help.

Are we not allowed to jam receivers at the line in press coverage if so we never do we just turn and chase receivers
