Donofrio D / AG Defense over the years

[Sandman211]

In 4 ACC games we are giving up 490 yards per game and 29 points.... Doesn't look much improvement to me

The difference/improvement is we are 7-1.

We played a much tougher schedule last year

Somewhat I agree. However, we are 7-1, with an offense that isn't doing as good as it was last year for whatever reason. 8 games through the season last year we were 4-4, this year obviously 7-1.

13 total sacks last year, this year 23 through 8 games
11 Ints last year, 14 through 8 games
11 FF recoveries last year, 7 through 8 games
53 total tkls for a loss last year, 49 through 8 games

You ask me, our D has improved.

So basically you are saying there is no precendence of being great. They obviously do not care about yards. Thats why they allow teams to accumulate them so easily. Dno is not leaving unless Golden leaves. One can only hope it improves. People say yards don't matter but yards equals one of two things or both. Either points or control of the clock. So u can have a small score to overcome but little time to do it.

they've never had access to the type of talent they have access to here.

They are so used to teams running up and down the field on them, they wouldn't know an attacking defense, with speed, if it jumped up and bit them in the ***.

We're losing 1.5 to 2.0 seconds reaction time, just with the "read and react" concept. We actually have some hungry dogs, but this scheme keeps them on chains. Golden should have left his good buddy behind, as it's going to be real expensive.

If Fisch and now Coley are going to have to cover for the ****poor defensive scheme, I think they should get D'Onofrio's paychecks.

 

[DeadPoets]

Can't stand the soft zone **** with So Fla kids. The only thing preventing Golden from being an absolute beast of a coach is his defensive mentality.

Which I don't get because he's aggressive from an offensive perspective & in game situations.

That defensive mentality, IMO, is dictated by the personnel. I believe that we'll see a much more aggressive approach when the talent, depth, and experience are where they need to be. Time will tell going forward, but I think the defense overall has been more aggressive this season (a low bar to be sure).

In 4 ACC games we are giving up 490 yards per game and 29 points.... Doesn't look much improvement to me

Last year through first 3 ACC games we have up 540 yards per game and 35 ppg.

We have improved.

Should improve more next year.

Can't stand the soft zone **** with So Fla kids. Blah blah blah.

God, just shut the **** up with this bull****. You and the guy above you. What a couple of know-nothings thinking they're vince lombardi.

You know this scheme is used by teams in the NFL right? But it's not good enough for the miami hurricanes? GTFOH.

I'm tired tired tired of these retards who think it's 1989 and that you just line up four, tell them to meet me at the QB, and play only man press behind them. Bull****. That **** gets eaten alive nowadays. Or did you forget about the Randy Shannon years?

We lost the FSU game because we couldn't stop the run. Plain and simple. If you don't see that, you need to watch the game again. Their O line dominated our D line. In other words, Porter and Renfrow and Pierre weren't cutting it.

Until we get some serious talent on the d line, our defense is what it is. Curtis Porter is the most overrated player on this site.

****, we're a year older, and coming from last damned place.

We had to get better. It's not the scheme, I guarantee you that.

That's a bunch of BS

WE just have had a shyttier schedule

We got blown out by FSU again and probably will back are way in to the ACC championship game again... MOrris has regressed

morris against good competition has always been average to bad. he played dog **** teams in the last 4 games last year. the injury has affected him this year along with losing his favorite receiver.

 

[Consigliere]

At the end of the season we will compare our ACC performance last year versus this year. That will remove all the OOC games that are different.

It is evident that we already improved from last year due to the ACTUAL DATA but we will see at the end of the year.

The data (aka evidence) shows the opposite of what Vern is saying. We will settle this by comparing our 8 games in the ACC last year versus our ACC performance this year. No one will complain about our OOC because we removed it from the equation.

 

[supacane]

Well we got waxed by FSU.....worst than last year. They are the measuring stick right?

Well I guess our D was better last year. Good call, big sample size and an excellent analysis.

 

[Dghustla]

Golden has also never coached a team that had a clear talent edge over its opponent in the majority of his game. VA,Temple and UM the last few years have all been at best middle tier teams with middle tier talent But hey why apply any logic to this thing.

Come in guys stop with the non sense. If talent doesn't matter why is Bama spending millions to wine and dine recruits ever year. Why do they have 20 coaches just to text message with kids everyday?
It's all about the quality of the product you put in. And that dictates the quality of the finish product.

We have completely changed schemes and outside of deon bush and Tracy Howard. We don't have any true prototypes at their position. Name one guy on this defense being drafted in the first 2 rounds? There isn't which means this unit is average at best. Which is what those stats will tell you.

So EJ Manuel is better than Jamie's Winston and was going to win the heisman last year?

What matters more stats or wins?

I just want one of these arm chair DCs to tell me what they run that would be soo much more effective with this current group of SRs.

Come on mane.....everything always falls back to the norm...Were not going 4-0 these last 4 ACC games giving up 29 points a game Ill tell you that.. Stats & WIns usually go hand & hand Turnovers are the great equalizer...

Maybe you could shut the **** up yourself, if you can't see the difference between wishing and having.

How many NFL teams use this scheme?

How many college teams use this scheme?

Ever consider the fact that in the NFL, you get to buy specific players and specific player types to fit your scheme?

Ever consider the fact that in college, sometimes you don't have the players you need to run your "IDEAL SCHEME?"

Give me a day, and I can come up with fifteen DC's who can do a much better job, as they'll make the most of what they have. FSU's DC could make this defense rock, because he has done so his first year with what he had, and we had 14 points as proof.

If what you're doing is really not working very well, most people would do something different. The reason our defense is better this year is because the players are a year older and they busted their *** to get bigger and stronger.

It sure as **** isn't due to Coach D's half-baked "scheme."

What he has is a shyteload of experienced talent. Have you seen their freaking depth chart? I'm not sure we have 1 guy who would even sniff their two-deep. Perryman or Howard...maybe? They have 5-star and 4-star seniors backing up the starters on the DL for crying out loud.
