Agree with wth but without n elite dt i cant see this scheme working

If he keeps running that ridiculous scheme....it won't even matter what talent we bring in.

There isn't a defensive end on the planet that can be asked to backpeddle into coverage and cover a jitterbug typle slot receiver. It's simple ******* physics.

Here's a thought dumb ***...if you're going to insist on running that ill-conceived cover 3 on every ******* down...at least give different looks pre-snap, you know....crowd the box and THEN drop 8. As opposed to coming out with linebackers with heels at 7-10 yards off the line scrimmage and everyone lined up in a soft, passive base look.

The biggest problem with that abortion of a scheme is that the presnap look gives away EVERYTHING. It's so obvious when we're blitzing cause these kids are being asked to blitz out of the same passive look and they can't help but start to creep up right before the snap.

This all day. Just give us creativity, aggressiveness.

Saint QB Drew Brees said during the off-season, he, head coach Sean Payton and offensive coordinator Pete Charmichael watch video of other teams' offenses and INNOVATE from what they like. He said, "This is a copy cat league." You do whatever it takes to stay ahead.

AG, D'Nofrio and his assistants should do the same with the D, ****, Coley and his staff too.

If I were a sports writer, I'd ask AG, if he does anything like that. But since he doesn't listen to players.... All I'm saying is if it's good enough for Sean Payton, a Super Bowl champion, you'd think it'd be good enough for these guys.

even though I know they have 2 more years here, it amazes me that NO'D has no idea the fanbase despises his scheme. Kudos to Barry for providing n awakening for him and Golden.

Ignorance is bliss, but ignorance and arrogance are a bad combo.

This tells me all I need to know about Dorito's play calling ability. This came after a ******* time out.

Was this on 3rd down and when the announcers mentioned that Miami likes to play man to man on 3rd downs? Being as predictable as they were Miami stuck to the formula and FSU ran all the WRs deep to slip the screen in underneath.

I think another big play happened on 3rd down as well. Almost the same scenario.

 

[Gatorhater]

If the d plays like **** this year golden has to make changes.

If the D is lousy this year he should be fired. He had the chance to make changes this offseason and chose to keep his pal around.

I want Al to succeed. We seemed to have lost the touch of hiring the right coach, so I have no more confidence in the next one than I do Al. But, I think the ship has sailed. I believe Al lost the PSU job because they insisted he not bring Mark. If we suck again this year, Al will be on the hot seat and next year's recruiting class will suffer. That we cannot tolerate. I like Chud as next HC. If he is interested, then fire Al as soon as it is clear there has been no improvement and bring in Chud immediately to finish the season. Next year's recruiting class is to good to let it be raided because late hire or hot seat HC.

We all know that isn't going to happen, but I fear we need that drastic type action. Watching Loserville dance around pre-snap and Coley have no answer to that crap, used up a lot of my tolerance for him also. First year or not. May just go to a quick snap automatic play whenever they start it? Something other than looking like a stupid idiot. Randy guys are all gone and there is a lot of talent on this team now. I have zero tolerance for excuses now. Win or hit the friggin road!

 

[Gatorhater]

All Al needs is LT at LB. The Big Tuna's defense works just fine. Well it work fine once! That was with the most vicious and maybe greatest LB in history playing high on drugs every game trying to kill QBs. Taylor took the Giants to Parcel's Super Bowl. I have not notice a LT around Greentree -- I am not sure even Ray could make this defense work. When LT was on the field, the QB wasn't worried about getting the pass off before he got sacked, he was worried about coming out of the play alive!. Oh, an it helped to have OJ Anderson pounding the ball 35 times a game too.

Like any scheme, it depends on the personnel. If you can find a monster NT and some good rush OLBs, it will be very successful. Stanford's D is a 3-4 two gap D. A lot of Ds have been successful with this system. It's all about finding the pieces. It may or may not be a great cultural fit for SF athletes, but the scheme itself isn't incapable of being successful.

It is not just cultural, there is a climate element. The 3-4 you speak of requires huge NTs and much bigger dline and LBs than normally exist down here. Our old teams were always smaller--even on Oline, so where the Dolphins when they were great. Hot, humid, makes it difficult to be an active, aggressive type of person if you carry those extra pounds. Those big players from other teams us to collapse in So FL humidity and heat. That is one reason we owned the fourth quarter. Now our guys collapse in the 4th and at end of season.

We have been witness to two of the greatest examples of football in history down here and both took place with smaller quicker players than their opposition. And it is not about black inner city kids; the undefeated Dolphins started 10 out 11 white dudes on defense and numerous white guy on offense. All were smaller than their counterparts in the NFL, except Zonk. We have an example of the greatest pro team and perhaps the great college dynasty, why not follow them. Caution, both these played in the OB, with probably the fastest turf in the country -- now both play in a cow pasture in north Dade. Small and really fast is good; small and slower, is not.

Riiiiiiiight. That was over 4 decades ago. Ancient history. If you EVER see 10 out of 11 white dudes on a defense again, you can shoot me point blank in the face. I guess that's why every university the whole country is offering these "black inner city kids" without even evaluating them.

I don't think it's he has no idea nor is it ignorance. He just doesn't give a **** what you, I, or anyone else outside of the program thinks! He truly thinks he has a recipe that will work. Being a sincere fan, I hope he is right and him and AG have huge success here. I have my reservations on Coach D, but this yr should be the one. We seem to have the personnel and talent to run what he wants to run.

This is what UM's defense should look like ( not what Al and Donofrio have been force feeding us) Nick Aliotti was at Oregon for 20 years and changed his system to better match the available team talent. Mind you Oregon rarely has a recruiting class ranked in the Top 15 yet year in and year out they have a very good defense, that doesn't ***** about the Oregon offenses short time of possession.

The defensive scheme isn't completely horrible, it's the fact he wants to 2 gap read & react out of it that's *** ******* us! As was said we don't have that NT. We can run a 50 & slant out of it & be pretty **** successful.

These kids were all 4+ stars with huge offer lists from big-time programs. They had every big school humping their leg. If you can't crack the top 25 with this group, go **** your own face.

I don't wanna hear any ****ing about being inexperienced or young. LSU lost 8 starters and had a top 25 defense last season. ****ing coach them. DT is atrocious, so nobody is expecting some legendary top 5 unit, but if you can't crack the top 25 with this much talent in the ACC you're worthless as a football coach.

Anyone excusing a ranking less than a top 25 defense is a grade-A moron. We hear the crying about needing a talent upgrade, this defense is littered with kids who could've named their school. Get it done or get out of my sight.

I agree with this 100%! you forgot 1 more 4* though : jelani hamilton lol

I thought our defense in the first half of the RAB was performing pretty well.. but the offense did nothing, and then the guys just couldn't hold up..

I would not call Stanford's scheme a predominant 2-gap scheme.

Picksix, why don't you jump into the discussion here and stop making direct comments to my inbox. Maybe you can help us understand the scheme better.

"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

your assertion is wrong.

insanity is doing the same MISTAKE over and over again and expecting different results.

we do things over and over again and it is reasonable to expect different results. football practice for example.

oregon also moves their LBs around a lot, we dont do that at all we keep it base the whole ******* time

 

[LEmeyers]

The scheme isn't the issue. It's the coaches running it.

 

[DaU83]

I think we'll start seeing that the more players that we get in here that were evaluated and recruited by our staff the better the "scheme" will appear..
