On a couple CB targets…

[Astcloud11]

Because it's Cover 4 Man, with the Corners playing Quarters coverage.

The Safeties are covering the Double Dig Crossing patterns against Trips left formation (3 WR's to the left hash, with the Z & the Y both running Digs across the face of the Defense).

Bissainthe does a good job of picking up the underneath coverage & passing him off to the Safety, who has eyes on the QB to watch for if the WR breaks his stem or if the X throttles down for a Curl or a Comeback.

Meesh picked up his man perfectly & so did Romanas.

The only person who made a mistake on that play was Damari.

I understand what's SUPPOSED to happen in Quarters coverage....but did Jaden Harris really make the correct decision in that clip? (serious question). To me, that's a clear moment that instincts and common sense should lead him to abandoning his assignment. Markeith Williams picked up the man that Wesley Bissainthe bumped and passed off, but Jaden Harris...also picked him up. Are you not questioning Harris if you're the coach here?

Thanks for this explanation. Have one other question about this play that confused me:

View attachment 313533

We ended up with 3 defenders around their least dangerous receiver #82-Gill and 1on1 against #7-Meeks, #19-Gadsen, #2-Pena. Seems weird. Is it possible Markeith was supposed to help Meesh on Gadsen down the opposite hash and Harris was supposed to go with #82 if he went up the field/help out if Meeks curled? Looks like Harris is eyeballing #82 the entire time, so not sure why Markeith is there next to him.

Saddest thing about this play is that Baron was a split second away from sacking McCord again violently from his blind side. Damari covers Meeks better, causing McCord to hesitate or come off Meeks, and McCord gets wrecked

Whoops, didn't realize you beat me to the question. But I assumed Markeith did his job and Harris was the odd man out.

The same NIL coordinator that brought us Cam, Damien M Simeon Barrow Zach Carpenter and Tyler Barron?

Yes

The only person who made a mistake on that play was Damari.

He's in Quarters playing Press Man, he's not supposed to, nor does he need Safety help. All he had to do was not spin backside towards the sideline & allow the WR to get free reign running a Post inside.

What he was supposed to do was jam & Steer him at the LOS, then flip & close the distance towards the WR's inside hip & play from his outside shoulder. If he executes proper technique like he's supposed to, it's either a PD or route stoppage incomplete pass.

The ONLY reason the WR got the catch, is because Damari turned in the wrong direction off the snap. That play was 1,000% on the player & not any Coach. There isn't a single Coach on Planet Earth that would instruct a CB to do that, literally not one.

It's the equivalent to a RB getting the hand off & then just running in the opposite direction of the LOS.

Not even a PBU or incomplete…..if Damari impedes his man’s route by .5 seconds Baron is going to clean McCords clock. Who knows maybe he gets a strip sack and we score easily from there. Ball game. The little things kill us.

Not being sarcastic at all.

I was high on D'yoni Hill when they brought him in last year & that proved to be a disaster, so wtf do I know .

TrumpyCane disagrees

We were undefeated with Hill in the lineup

You think a kid that barely knows his assignment to begin with and how to execute it appropriately is going to know when to abandon his assignment at the right time and play outside the scheme to make a play?

@DMoney Are we not pursuing here? I remember Mario pushing hard to flip him last year. Lord knows that room could use all the help we can get

LSU most likely

 

[Memnon]

This would be a good pick up

 

[Uncut Co Cane]

NIL coordinator should be fired and prosecuted for murder. They killed this season by missing on quality defenders for the 3rd year in a row.

Be careful bro lol according to some Cam, Dame, and Barrow is supposed to make u ignore the misses with that being I signed up this morning Go Canes

 

[flips]

This why i dont agree with all the talk about the Dline disappointing

People overrated them, saying they would be a top10 dline but alot of the fanbase underrated how BAD our secondary would be. When the secondary actually covered well enough or we didn’t get out schemed our dline got pressure but that was a rarity all year lol

Against Syracuse I thought our ends rushed McCord really well. Issue in that game was the DBs obviously not forcing McCord off his first read, and I thought we didn't do a good enough job getting an interior rush, so McCord could step up when he had to. With all the times Barrow had to be helped off the field this year, figure he was pretty nicked up by the end of the year.

That guy is more loyal to Mario than his parents. I would generally ignore everything he posts if you want anything objective.

 

[SinisterCane]

I think Damari will fit in somewhere just because he's so physical and explosive as a tackler. Maybe it's safety or big nickel. He's not going to get lighter.

Staff should try him at SS

 

[JHallCanes]

I don’t know anything about playing CB

But I know what insanity is

So whatever we’ve been doing, let’s do the opposite

 

[Squid Bumciorek]

UCF CB Chasen Johnson

 

[Damiencane86]

This would be a good pick up

Him & O'Connor are the only ones we've offered that look Miami caliber

 

[bobbo31]

This kid has college tape out and he doesn't look good. This is against UCF by the way.

Yet you're posting his HS film here and commenting about his length and how he moves like they're evaluating a high school player.

No need to evaluate and project him..he played in college already against D1 guys and he's not very good.

There's a bunch of kids out there who are in the portal and have looked GOOD against D1 wide receivers. And none of them are visiting or getting offers?

This kid was just a freshman, so he could obviously improve and be great down the line, but I don't trust this staff to develop or scheme to make this kid great.

The same Ole Miss who took Khamari Rodgers from us

Edit- Chris Graves..Not Rodgers

You should probably make a second edit because that was Mississippi State
