Brett Romberg doesn't understand why we don't press WRs

[DeadPoets]

For those of you who want the corners to press, you realize you're calling for an entirely different scheme, right? You can't press the corners and then play the rest of the zone the same way.

What scheme would you use?

Lu, I don't understand D like you do, but there were numerous instances against KState where our CB's were in press coverage. Maybe we were in man on those situations.

But what blew my mind was that even though we were in press coverage, our CB's made no attempt to bump the WR at the snap of the ball. Instead they turned and ran immediately at the snap giving the WR's free releases. Can somebody explain why you would press and not try to bump? If you don't try to disrupt the timing of the route, even a running QB like Klein will pick you apart.

Man, this interview really hit me hard. As Romberg talked about Nate Webster and that he had a ***** loose and the teams mentality and camaradery that I loved to watch so much and made this team so unique. You could hear a Webster tackle, you could also hear him scream before the game, this guy was crazy. It was a motley crew and I loved their attitude.

****, I miss those days. After we became the nice guys all that stopped and we became trash.

The corners bailed because we where in cover 3 and they were getting to their deep thirds responsibility.

The concept is to look like press man pre snap when youre actually going to play cover 3.

D' No is scared ****less of aggressive defense. Instead of taking the fight to them and making things hard on the offense he'd rather just concede yardage and guaranteed points. He reminds me of Michigan's ex-DC, Greg Robinson. That dude is awful.

Exactly. What's weird to me is that we don't see a lot of matching up in the zone. If we're supposed to see it, then from live play they look really lost. Most of our guys are standing still or "covering an area/grass" as people often say. If I told you more or less where the defenders are going to be before you snap the ball, don't pressure you to make a quick throw, and give the WR enough time to find the holes between relatively stationary defenders...

...you'd look a lot like BC's offense did. What's ******* wild to me is that KState didn't even have to throw the ball. When they did it was easy as ****, down the seam, huge windows, but why bother when you can run for chunks.

We're simply not in a good place. Hope we get off the field on a few 3rd and 6s because of errant throws, tipped passes or dropped passes. Score 28-31 points. Win 6 games.

Yeah Lu, we look like complete and utter dogs#it on defense right now. It is hard to even watch...

What good is the press man look when you never actually run press man to keep the offense honest?

 

[-Blazed-]

Cause you need to get to the QB.

 

[UMJer026]

Exactly.

Truth.

The defense is hot garbage and the young excuse ain't flying this time around. If our entire defense requires NFL talent on the DL.... then until then.... TRY BEING MORE AGGRESSIVE IN COVERAGE.
As it stands these QBS can throw to their 1st read which often gives the DL no chance to get pressure.

Our LBs are asked to do so much in this f'in defense. WAY too much.

 

[donutface]

Throwing this out there, but maybe this is the defense that they want to play so instead of changing it for the sake of this year they are trying to teach it to the team. We have a group of young players who are already confused. Why give them something else to be confused with. Take our lumps (we weren't going to be that good anyways) and let the you g players learn the principles of the defense so that they arent thinking anymore and just reacting, then throw in more complicated wrinkles when they can handle it.

 

[bandhammer]

I seem to recall us playing man press on VT for a series last year. It took them less than 45 seconds to score. Not saying our corners are better or worse than last year, but I have a feeling Golden will run man press to shut you guys up and when it happens, there will be similar results. As a basketball coach, I can scheme all day, but if I'm taking a knife to a gun fight, the best I can do is try to slow the other team down. I think that's what Dnofrio is doing more than anything.

Just look at our team and look at Kstate. We were engulfed by them. We look like a high school team and that's with all of the strength gains. It's gonna take some time I think, regardless if Dnofrio stinks or not.

Which brings us right back around to Swasey. The lone ranger in this 10 year debacle.

So who exactly would you retain from the staff, seeing as you want to get rid of half of them so far

Does the fact that Brett Romberg does not understand something really warrant starting a thread about it?

Angry Ibis doesn't understand why we should care what Brett Romberg says about our current SECONDARY.

 

[Angry Ibis]

If Miami had the players to press it would. But it doesn't.

Howard might be the best "press" freshman corner in country. So gtfoh

Based on our views of practice and his play in the BC and KState games or based on what he did in high school?

Coming out of HS he was widely considered the most physical CB available.

Not breaking your balls, but have you seen it translate to the college level or have the opportunities to see him press been too limited to judge?
