Barry Jackson in depth about the defense/D'onofrio

The BC game showed me all I needed to know about Dorito. He's a bum.

By November guys like Bush, Howard, Moore, McCord, Jenkins, etc had all played a bunch. Two plays stand out to me late in the season: Logan Thomas' 9,000 yard TD run and Duke's 9,500 yard TD pass where Jenkins let the guy run right by him. That kind of bull**** shouldn't be happening. And let's not even bring up the corching display at UVA. Eichorst could have fired Golden that day and it would have been perfectly justifiable.

Can you make sense of this please?

We had a group full of freshmen in 2008 that held a national chammionship Gata team down for an entire game that we should have won if we didn't have Pat Nix and SEC refs

Yet Dorito's 116/120 D is because of a lack of personnel. Dorito can't even stop UVA. Puh-lease.

What did this ****** run at Temple? Was it the same soft zone bend but don't break garbage?

I want our defenses to be getting in that ***. Confusing QBs with different fronts. Sending pressure from everywhere. We ran the Pro Bowl defense, or an All-Star game defense. No blitzing allowed, no jamming allowed etc.

Others are saying the scheme is too complex, and we should dumb it down.

It might be too complex for the players to learn, but from an opposing offense standpoint, it is predictable and doesn't pressure the QB or make him think and make quick decisions.

It was basically us sending 4 slugs forward while 7 guys scrambled downfield to get into their zones while looking like they just played a game of dizzy bat.

And everybody wanted to fire Bill Young, too.

But that was only after Shannon supposedly forced him to dumb down the defense and play his scheme, which most people hated, but now everyone wants to see it again.


Bottom line: the coach always sucks.

I agree, but how do you scheme around that?

If you have 4 slugs up front and 7 guys who aren't good in coverage, what do you do?

Right. But we never explored anything else. We were pretty steadfast in playing the Pro Bowl scheme. We'd throw a few poorly designed blitzes every now and then when were were desperate, but never really tried attacking and getting to the QB.
 
Able says that we were screwed either way by the talent on defense, yet he says we shouldn't have sent 5 or 6 slugs. wellllll, what difference does it make is you're screwed either way!?!??!

"hey, if we send 5 or 6 slugs we'll be 118th in the country instead of 116th!!!!"

We tried different blitzes, but the ***** rarely worked.

I remember one time we sent Kacy Rodgers on a safety blitz. I still don't think he's gotten into the backfield yet.

I think earlier in the year, the biggest problem was the run defense. If you can't stop the run, you can't run an exotic defense. You can load the box, but then you have freshmen CBs playing one on one.

Once Porter returned and Pierre and Robinson started to play better, our run defense improved a lot. I think the defense starts to come together this year.
