Some of yall would get your asses kicked if you were DC's.
Yall swear it's as simple as jamming WR's every play.
They're completely clueless. They aren't even aware that the '01 Canes ran PLENTY of zone coverage. It's how they wound up with so many picks, but it just so happened that they had two of the best defensive QB's the university has ever seen in Vilma and Reed.
Nah, It all starts upfront. We need disruption from the interior players. We should be working to create as much disruption at the point of contact as possible. That's the foundation of great Miami defense.
The fact of the matter is that we haven't stop an opponent's running game or aerial assault, at least not lately. We can debate the reasons for years, but there's no denying the defense has been ****-*** poor. Where do we start? We've got to stuff the running game. I frankly don't care what multiple front we align in 30 or 40, we've got to be able to play better run defense.
I'll say this about the hybrid defense, there's nothing wrong with being multiple. But, I'd hate playing in a system where there are two different sets of techniques for each system...too much technical stuff in there for DLmen. Either implement and teach one gap techniques or two gap principles...not both. That's just my personal opinion.
Pass coverage. I won't get into coverages, calls, etc. But, I do think there should be an emphasis on playing hard techniques at the corner position. Jamming receives would help on outside receivers' releases, but I don't think that is a major area of concern for us. Between the hashes is really the area of concern.
The one thing about this defense is that if we don't get turnovers it gets washed away. We desperately need better route awareness and distribution in our underneath coverages. As I've mentioned before, but I really love Perryman being the hammer in the middle. He's pretty good at looking up receivers coming into his zone area, and he will put that wood on ya *** too. We need more of that from our underneath guys if D wants to play a lot five and four under. We've gotta disrupt timing. It's been way too easy picking apart our underneath stuff. Something needs to change. Yes, man under will help, but we need to see major improvement here.
Btw, that '01 defense played a lot of man under-2. Regardless, though, we had athletic linebackers that could cover. That's the backbone of coverages.
