Glaring issue on defense

Saw this on X. I’m not an X and O knowledgeable person but this makes a lot of sense to me. Planning was Kirby’s DC for awhile. He’s very good.

For those that ARE k pledges le, do you think Guidry thinks about this? Could we execute defensive stops set up this way?

It is what it is.

Mauigoa is supposed to scrape into the C gap & stay square to keep the RB contained from bursting into the 3rd level.

The play was ran right to his side on purpose.

- The RT & RG combo Block down on Barrow
- The LG pulls & heads all the way to the D gap to pick up the Block the RT would normally have if he wasn't doubling on DT, He puts a hat on Bain & squares him off
- #0 Christian Leary, is lined up as the H-back, they Play Action fake to him as he runs a Drag route out of the backfield to the Flats, it's an RPO option
- The LT has also pulled behind the LG & now both have flipped over to the Weak side & are leading the convoy for the RB.

Mauigoa takes the wrong leverage angle & steps outside, he gets met in the C-gap by the LT & gets completely walloped, which caverns the 2nd level of the Defense wide open.

I'll reiterate so people don't misunderstand... Francisco Mauigoa was lined up presnap Offset over the B-gap towards the left hash on the Weak side.
HE GOT BLOCKED BY THE LT.

Do you know how many steps the LT has to make to get back front side to Block the C-gap Weakside vs a LB who is already lined up in the B gap???

That's like a Baseball player hitting a line drive up the middle of the field & getting tagged out by the 3rd Baseman while running to 1st base.

your point is well articulated and accurate. IMO, Bain doesn't do well on this play at all as well. no one was gap sound on play side and its a massive hole and the safety might as well sell tickets.

We really need Justin Scott and Armondo Blount to hit. The staff thinks they hit a home run with the ‘24 DL class. The development of that group is key to the future of the defense.

Problem with this is they didn’t hit in 23’ outside of Bain. Looks like we are not hitting in 25’ with DT’s. Blount is still very young and we don’t know when he will be ready.

Since Mario arrived, the inconsistencies in DT recruiting and poor evaluations is beyond frustrating, and quite frankly, unacceptable. This is by far the slowest defense in my lifetime.

We shouldn’t be hitting the portal this heavy in year 4.

Setting aside the Lance Guidry scheme discussion, a big problem is that our upperclassmen are not very good.

Defensive recruiting has been abysmal for years.

The jury is still out on the underclassmen ('23 and '24 classes), but the upperclassmen high school recruiting is even worse than I thought.

Out of the '22 class (true juniors), the '21 class (4th year players), the '20 class (5th year players), and the '19 class (super seniors), these are the guys we recruited out of high school that are still on the team:

Chase Smith
Wesley Bissainthe
Markeith Williams
Jaden Harris
Ahmad Moten

That's it. Five guys (no burgers & fries).

Bissainthe might be the only one that gets drafted.

The upperclassmen we do have are transfers, most of whom are JAG roster fillers and not true standouts.


Mario has recruited well on offense, but the defense has been a disappointment.

There's promise in '23 and '24 (and '25), but we really need to hit on these evals. As FSU has shown, living in the portal is not really where you want to be for the foundation of your team.

Well, as long as we "clean it up" and/or "tighten it up" as per the last like 6 post game pressers, we should be just fine.

Everything looks good on paper in theory, but in practicality isn't always as easy.

The biggest issue our Defense has is personnel, not Coaching.

The majority of the big plays that get made against the Defense are as a result of missed assignments. People have convinced themselves that Guidry just calls plays intentionally to let opposing Offenses get big plays, but that's not at all what happens.

What Lanning was saying is that on 3rd & longs he primarily isn't going to panic with his calls because he can simulate pressure with specific Zone coverages & not be forced to play Man, because he believes they can get to the ball ahead of the sticks & tackle before any RAC yards can get the Offense a 1st down. That's how most DC's go about handling 3rd & distance, the problem is, we can't assume that if we drop back in Zones playing Palms or Quarters on the outside that if the Offense throws a quick 5yd dump off that it still won't get a 10yd first down. Because we struggle immensely with ball pursuit & open field tackling.

Guidry is well aware of this, so his coverage calls have to be more Man oriented because the likelihood of our LB's & DB's making an open field tackle even with the ball in front of them is less than 50%. So, Guidry isn't going to call a ton of Cover 3 Deep, Cover 2, Cover 6's etc, because our DB's don't bail & pass off properly. When they have to play Quarters they give a ton of cushion & get flat footed when the WR gets a 3 or 4 or 6 route. So as soon as the WR makes the catch, he turns & stiff arms up the sideline for an additional 4+ yards, or they backshoulder our CB's on the sideline.

Defending screen plays is 100% film study & recognizing screen presnap, based on alignment, reading the tackles (depending on which OT is offset is usually your indicator) & reading motion. Your Rover is supposed to communicate with your LB's to tell them what keys he's identifying presnap & the LB's are supposed to communicate to the Safeties what to look for based on what they're reading upfront, so they can check in & out of specific coverages for that play.

What's happening with us, is teams are presnap motioning us to Death to confuse us & get our weakest players (Mike LB, Nickel/STAR) in one on one no man's land situations. We're one of the few Defenses I've watched this year who get confused while in Man coverage on how to cover the motioner. For whatever reason they switch off & give the motioner to whoever is covering on that side of the hash & due to lack of communication, someone's man gets left wide open because the person who's supposed to pick up the switch off didn't know who or where he's supposed to cover.

Again, because people don't know what they're watching, their first instinct is to blame Guidry, but I'm 110% sure, if our players played sound assignment football on snap by snap basis, at least 75% of the big chunk yardage plays against us wouldn't happen.

Our guys routinely get caught looking, or just get flat out walled off in blocking because they're not beating the blockers to the ball. The way you blow a play up before a Blocking convoy can fully formulate, is by identifying early what the play & is reacting off instinct. That can only come from film study & knowing exactly what's happening on a play by play basis. Great Defenders can predict plays & beat blockers to the ball & they do this by recognizing tells that the Offense has. Every offense has ways in which they tip their plays, if you watch enough film, you can accurately guess 80+% of the time whether it's a run or pass. And if you really study tendencies & play sequencing, you can predict where the ball is going on specific downs.

Offenses are repetitive, they run the same plays over & over again, just in different variances. If you figure out what their core plays are to move the ball down the field, you can get ahead of them on down & distance because you intuitively know, "It’s 3rd & 7+, they usually run this play to this side of the hashes, at this specific part on the field & usually such & such is getting the ball. They're lined up in this formation & the LT has his left foot back, so they're probably going here.." Then you communicate with the rest of the Defense depending on which unit you're in & tell them what to watch for.

If you're a CB, depending on the coverage, you need to have eyes on the WR & be ready to flip to get in phase immediately if you're playing press Man. Once you're in phase, don't even worry about the WR anymore, just keep running & locate the ball. If you can't get it at its apex, then play through the hands & disrupt the catch point.

If you're playing Off bail, then you need to have eyes on the QB. If you're on the Boundary side, then you simply position yourself to outside leverage so that he can't beat you down the sideline. If you're on the Field side, then you need to communicate with the Safety that he needs to watch the QB's eyes as well & if it's a Bang 8 or a Dig, he has to immediately crash down to either undercut or meet the WR at the catch point. If it's Post or a Corner/Flag route, he needs to fade over top & cut off the WR at angle so the QB can't teardrop the ball to him. The CB in Quarters in a down & distance play, should jump everything that's 6yds & under. If the route is 7yds or more, get back, keeps eye on the QB & press the angle towards the sideline to cut off the WR & force a route stoppage.

For LB's & Safeties it's similar. Everything boils down to eye discipline & play recognition. If you know what you're doing, & what the Offense is doing, it's a lot harder for them to make plays on you.

I don’t know sht about coaching. But stats can be manipulated or interpreted differently.
But trajectories and tendencies are what they are.
Duke has a terrible offense. And if Duke can scheme 31 points then so can Wake.

We as cane fans are acting like the girl who’s man is cheating and everyone knows it but she ain’t believing it.

Too many games with the same mistakes against teams that don’t have the same offensive production that they do against us.

Miss me with that bs that we are everybody’s Super Bowl.
That’s a lame *** excuse that I have believed for too long. We’ve been in dog fights with bad teams for the past several games. Beating the sht out of Wake proves nothing. Dog fight against wake validates the reality that this defense is being exposed worse than R Kelly in a basement at Diddys house.

Kam, J Dub and Ryque were known since high school to have extremely high football IQ’s.

That’s hard to replace.

But you’re telling me that the drop off was that bad that we letting Duke put 30 on us?

And now all of the sudden they’re gonna figure it out? Highly doubt it

This season is on the brink and our db’s are seeing cobwebs and can’t deal with the pressure and scrutiny that’s being placed on them.
If we don’t make the acc game or get blown out we will be having a lot of dudes sit out for the bowl game and get exposed again against a good team.

Mario needs to get the cleaning ladies in here at the end of the season with the Fabuloso and clean the Fck out of that db room.

Great write up. It helps us understand Guidry did not become a bad coach in the off season.

Are you hopefull they were able to fix the presnap and communication issues during the bye week? Or is this something that can only be fixed in Spring with better players?

I agree with everything you're saying. I absolutely agree it appears to mostly be a personnel problem for the LBs+DBs that Guidry has to deal with which is forcing him to call things a certain way. Even though he's 100% unproven, we really gotta hope Damari is what the coaches believe/talk him up to be, cause otherwise It doesn't seem like theres much improvement there that we can realistically hope for the rest of this season besides like Patterson and some young LBs being given an opportunity.

At this point I really don't know how our #1 priority isn't to do everything in our power to ensure we stop our opponents run game first and foremost though. GTech was a complete disaster and they just executed the exact gameplan to most easily beat us - limit our offensive possessions and have long, slow methodical drives running it down our throat. That has to be #1 priority to ensure it doesn't happen again. We need to play complementary defense. I much rather have teams pass for 400 yards on us, shut down the run game, and hope that our defense gets an INT or big sack on a 3rd down or something at some point, which does just enough to slightly stacks the odds in our elite offenses favor....

What you didn't mention is Dline though. That's the specific thing that is ****ing me off most about Guidry right now. To me any argument that Dline is a personnel issue is insane. If Guidry can't figure out how to make sure this DLine doesn't suck, we are ****ed imo. Idk if anyone or any site keeps track of how often we stunt our Dline, but I swear to god we stunt our Edges - perhaps even coach them to jump inside on pullers?!? - more than I've ever seen a team do, all with absolutely zero success, and a **** load of big negative plays allowed/created in the run game due to basically not setting an edge whatsoever. Like how many 20+ yard runs to/outside the tackle do we need to give up before we stop? The front 7 problems imo are way more on Guidry than the back 7 problems are.
 
Some of you expecting us to be Georgia in Year 3 are wild. We are looking at 10- and a shot at an ACC Championship and playoffs and...we've built a Top 10 team with the best offense in the nation from the ashes of a 20 year span of .500 football, embarrassing losses, poor bowl performance and decline in quality of players.

Id say this was about the best we could've asked for at this point...we legit still have a shot and can beat anybody.

Defense stinks so bad, we could lose to anyone if the offense takes a 5 minute breather, but here we are.

The biggest miss is not paying Kam Kinchens enough to stay.

Idk what their being taught but this is on bain as well

I dont wanna hear **** about people questioning why someone is playing because the staff plays who deserves it. Kiko has been hurting us all year and his snaps still lead the LBs every game, they give him player of the game when he was terrible a couple times **** is pathetic

Another thing coaches and players should be held accountable but to me if the same **** is happening over and over again, different players. That’s coaching

Week 11 and we talking about improving communication, playing alignment and assignment football in WEEK11. Thats spring and fall camp **** man idk how thats not coaching. Its their job to get players to respond to their coaching, maybe change the teaching method idk.

Idk how everyone just abandoning the edges, us getting out flanked, motion hurting us all year, no gap integrity. Thats all coaching, better players will for sure help but i still think it would be covering the underlying scheme issues

I'll show yall an example:

752b020af0404f5d98487bc818f53233.gif


Watch Mauigoa, Bissainthe & Jaden Harris on this play.

Do yall see what they did wrong?

Look at where Mauigoa is lined up presnap & look at where the play ends up, do you see it?

Now mind you, this was the next play right after 74yd run to start off GTech's first Offensive possession. Do yall really think Guidry was like, "Okay gents, let's let these guys score in 2 plays, run the exact opposite direction of the ball carrier & completely abandoned your gap assignments, ready? Break!"

Just go rewatch the big plays we given up this season & that will answer every question you have about the Defense.

It's not Guidry, I promise you it's not. If it was, yall know **** well I would be the first one here calling for his head. There are very few on the board who are more critical of Coaches than me. If Guidry was as bad as yall think he is, I would undoubtedly be leading the march to get rid of him.

If it happens over and over and over again, week to week, no changes in personnel especially kiko and jaden who’s fault is it? I agree its not all on him, its never one thing but just giving him no blame?

Thank you for this, as sickening as it is, it helps. I know the politics around Kiko, but for the life of me I don’t know how we didn’t get a great portal safety. Harris is on fcking skates here. A good safety fills the lane and stops this for 3-5 yards. I saw this all game when UT played UGA. Hate to credit those guys but **** it was refreshing to see a safety fill an alley break down and knock a mfer back. Evals worry me, not the scheme or DC. Guy was a beast last year, people forget!
