I agree but we need a nickel another boundary corner maybe two more speed at lb and probably two or three more dt mesidor isn't a dt I think bain should play inside more also. If we do replace guidry whoever we hire will want to bring in his own guys so that could mean bye bye Nicholson or jt those two are our best defensive coaches the rest I think can be replaced.first quarter was bad ... but to his credit, the defense showed some signs ... but i get the feeling if we keep struggling with the basics, guidry may be in the unemployment line
Exactly the moment is too big for him now expectations wiseGuidry is a great DC for a team without title hopes, that’s not us anymore. It won’t be this year, but our contention window is opening. His time has run its course here and we need a better DC next year
Night and day when you watch the UF game vs almost every game before today.We haven’t been doing basic **** correctly. Today we did basic **** correctly. I think a certain personnel change up front made a huge difference. I’ll give you a hint: we weren’t losing contain on pass rush, we weren’t getting kicked out against man run schemes and we weren’t creating massive seams against zone schemes.
Also, #0 is a good nickel. He has limitations in man coverage there, but otherwise he has the instincts and attention to detail to play that position well. #15 looked confident back there making calls and getting people lined up. We already know he has great range. It worked out for us this week.
I have been saying for weeks that it’s a bunch of dumb **** we are doing. Like elementary stuff like alignment and assignment. Makes everything harder when the defenses isn’t sound (ie the parts don’t fit together). Tackling is harder. Coverage is harder. We didn’t shoot ourselves in the foot and we are a different defense.
7 was benched a lot and Powell was in the slot. Powell is not a free safety and Harris isn’t a safety at all.. 15 and 20 looked good out there.Mesidor on the outside was great to see, tbh. That’s where he needs to be. Popo and Pruitt getting more burn also helped.
Seemed like Baron was benched at points. Thank god.
