Hayes breakdown

[Coach Macho]

That's one of those "what you draw on the board meets reality" moments.
Sure I can see him explaining that on a board BUT at the end of the day, there is no way that dude can cover that dude, lol

I would've loved to be in the defensive room when they talked about this idea.

 

[JHallCanes]

Still waiting for the delayed blitz breakdown leaving OJ one on one after he had been getting picked on

I’m no DC so maybe there’s some elaborate reason but I would imagine McCord laughing when he saw it coming a mile away

Stupidest call I’ve ever seen given circumstances

But maybe just a colossally bad move by the safety (think it was Meesh) but it happened several times

On paper, I should be a bang a supermodel... We are both humans of the opposite *** and speak the same language...BUT in really, that's just not going to go.that way, lol

I’d love you to be in the defensive room putting the game plan together!

No reason for 31 to take the flats if you have the ideal athlete peeling with the RB (instead of a 280lb DL)

The objective of this particular play is to get more rushers than the offense has the blockers. It's 7 rushers versus 6 blockers. And if the RB goes out, we still have the numbers advantage with 6 rushers versus 5 blockers.

You're guaranteed to get a free rusher at the QB thus the ball has to be thrown quickly. All you have to do is protect slants and the RB out.
We failed the latter by having a DT cover the RB.

Coach, ur saying that #7 shoulda had #1 out of the backfield (which would've made the TE Wes's responsibility?), correct?

Obviously was dumb to ask Mesidor to check #1 here, but sure looks like Wes was supposed to drop to the flat, and didn't. Kiko drops to the middle. I sure hope Guiry didn't draw it up expecting Mesidor to be the only guy between Allen and the end zone. Good lord.

How does one watch the film week after week and still allow Guidry to stay the rest of the season? He should've been gone weeks ago. Coaching malpractice that ruined the season (whether or not we get into the CFP).

 

[SWFLSWAGG17]

Yup, remember Duke QB hitting his first read for 3 quarters until we finally changed things up in the 4th and the kid was confused and **** his pants. Guidry is a stubborn moron and cost this team. He should give back his entire salary with how badly he "coached" this year.

I've been on CIS all day, not getting my work done & I'm certainly not giving my salary back.

Agree...
But in a Cover-0 situation you'd prefer to have skill on skill.
You have 5 offensive skill players on the field and 5 DB's on defense...

So there's absolutely no reason (in this scenario) to have a "big" covering a skill guy.

The craziest thing is...
This is such a simple adjustment.
Just walk the boundary Safety down to the edge outside of Mesidor. Boom.

100% Guidry must just prefer putting guys in positions where they can’t succeed so he can say the play was the correct call haha joking obviously

It's a 7-man Cover-0 pressure.
The idea is to send more defenders than the offense has blockers. (7 versus 6)
The only way to accomplish that is to have a "peel" defender for the RB (just in case he goes out). Mesidor is part of the blitz, but if the RB goes out he has to take him.

The LB's are part of the blitz as well. They have to 'add on' to the line-of-scrimmage in order for Miami to gain a free rusher with the numbers advantage. If the OL blocks them, they drop.

Wesley will never get to the flats from the A-gap anyway. The easy fix is to have a DB as the "peel" defender for the RB (not a 280lb Linemen).

 

[KingB02]

Baron has jumped inside multiple times when there appears to be nobody else assigned to the outside. Stunting and jumping inside are completely different motions.

No ****. If we are doing it on every other down, why would guys not **** up and do it at the wrong time

Thanks, Coach. On that play if #7 was the peel defender who has the TE Gadsen?

man hayes is just shellshocked at what hes watching

safety was covering the TE on this play….bt completely agree that mesidor would be better offf covering an inline TE versus a RB.

Or better, like the other guy said, put a Jack out there for better matchups.

 

[Coach Macho]

safety was covering the TE on this play...

Correct... but there's 2 Safeties on the field.

You have 5 DB's on the field to cover 5 eligible receivers.

When we run this same pressure we match-up skill versus skill. (for the reason seen in the Twitter post)
It goes like this...
1. CB's versus WR's
2. Nickel versus slot (#2 WR)
That leaves us with 2 Safeties who are responsible for the remaining pass catchers. (in this case the TE and RB)
3. One Safety would cover the TE
4. Other Safety adds on to the blitz (where Mesidor is) and peels with the RB if he's out.

With this setup we're not asking anybody to do something they aren't accustomed to doing. DL & LB's are rushing the passer and cover guys (DB's) are covering. We're not at an athletic disadvantage by asking a 280lb kid to cover a RB with a full head of steam.

Go back and watch the TV copy for yourselves.

I want you to watch every single drop back from McCord, and I want you to see how many times he threw the ball to his first read, and how many of those were completed to an open receiver. It’s actually incredible.

I would bet my literal life that, if you could sit alone at a bar with Kyle McCord and have him speak completely freely, he would tell you that was one of the easiest games of his life, regardless of opponent. Almost every single snap, he came to the line with a call, looked at his first read, and had an open kid to throw to. No confusion. No reading a defense. No disguised coverage. Very little pressure off the snap, and none due to him having to go through multiple reads. Just step up, know where the ball is going, first down. Every ******* play.

Oh, the back is isolated in man vs a backer? Done. Easy money. Oh, they’re in press man and the safety is down, easy vertical, done. Oh, they’re running cover zero and a DE is dropping into coverage? Get in behind him, easy throw. Done.

It was the same **** over and over and over. We made nothing even remotely difficult. He’s had harder 7 on 7 practices, I promise you. If we got beat by Superman dodging pass rushers while going through multiple reads, or circus catches in double coverage, or pinpoint throws to covered receivers, I’d live with it. But this was literally so easy. He’s probably still laughing at how much of a joke that was.

Teams had their best offensive performances against us, that’s all u need to know to justify Guidry being fired. Our talent on defense isn’t worse than any other average ACC team and they were able to perform better than us. McCord had wat, 5 picks against Pitt?

 

[mirasuegui]

The issue with this play isn't necessarily the play call... but it's WHO they assigned to peel. (Mesidor)

We run this same Cover-0 pressure but it's our Safety who's on the edge and responsible for peeling with the RB. (not a 280lb DL)

This is insanity.

Guidry pre-game press conference, he wanted to disguise what he was doing. Seemed we ran what we always run. Watched student of the game, never seen the moderator so ****ed off, same failures game after game.

 

[mirasuegui]

He was playing pitch and catch out there no doubt. He hit his back foot on his drop back and threw it immediately, knew where he was going every time.

Impossible to get pressure, also we should have just mugged their receivers, just to throw off their timing. In the meantime, our receivers are getting held everywhere.

think it was 6, you figure Guidry would try a copy what Pitt did.

 

[Swampcity]

X is my guy as well. But I have to be honest, that fumble was a 14 pt. swing.
Yes, we came back and scored but it does not change their momentum.
