Did anyone else notice that Ebron was wide open on a drag routes underneath because 2 of our players ran into each other?

Still gotta wonder about this scheme. We're improving but what's the ceiling with this soft zone bullsheeeiiiit?

Oh for the love of Christ.
 
Our zone looks better when we pressure the QB and don't allow the other team to find holes in it. And we look better at pressuring the QB when an over-matched and inexperienced OL isn't allowed to grab and hold every passing play. But yeah, the fact that our defense struggled with UNC's best player isn't shocking. Guess the coaches don't believe in the whole 'making some other guy beat you' thing.


Oh, and the PI call on Howard was called because Tracy did too good of a job in coverage...he was right in the dude's hip pocket, with minimal contact, but sometimes they throw a flag on that ****.

Scheme looked fine, POOR tackling at times, and poor individual coverage plays at times.

Scheme looked fine when Ebron was running routes with NONE of our players around him? He's catch & turn up field and be surprised there were no defenders around. It became comical.

Raphael Kirby, Highsmith, Gaines, Gunter, Jenkins... these are just a few who really struggle playing zone defense.
 
So you want more man to man coverage against all of their bunch formations and rub routes?

Howard's game-saving INT at the end is likely a TD against man coverage.

I wish people would stop *****ing about the scheme. It's ******* corny.

Morris played like complete *** tonight. If we had been scoring against that garbage defense, it changes the complexion of the game.

Yes I'd like to see more man to man. Also more pressure dialed up. I got excited at the beginning of the season when against UF we brought 5 & sometimes 6 (safeties, LBs) often and played man behind it. It works! Why get away from it?

Renner wasn't a threat to run so no need to play tons of zone.

Also eats me alive seeing McCord on the sideline most of the game. And we rush 3 too much.

So anyways - ya scheme matters home skillet.

So I guess you didn't see all those CB blitzes we sent from the field? We constantly brought pressure. They pass protected well.

Besides, they're a quick flare passing team.

Scheme was fine tonight. Poor tackling and a couple coverage busts hurt. Gunter probably has an INT if he's not biting on an underneath route that isn't there.
 
I'm shocked to see a play man, blitz more post on this board. Shocked. Unreal that DCs haven't figured this simple solution to stopping every offense out there.

Yep. It's an invincible solution to everything.

BTW we mixed in man, too.

People just weren't paying attention.

I'm not a blitz every down fan. However... it's irrefutable that we've gone away from it since UF.
I understand D'Onofrio wants to play zone on duel threat guys. And my body is ready for that.

But against this statue McCord should have been in MUCH more and we should have played man under quite a bit (with the cover 1 safety shadowing Ebron)

But whatever. 3 points in second half. Can't complain too much.

My biggest complaint with the schemes is what Pollack was howling about the entire broadcast- why is Ebron allowed to get scot-free releases for every single play in the game? We didn't try to knock him off a route once, and we KNEW he was the #1 threat coming into this game by a mile. I'm not saying we have to play bump man from the first snap, because truthfully I do not believe we have a safety or LB who could stay with him, but at least give him some different looks.

Our first half gameplan against their #1 threat was abhorrent. Props on the adjustments, but it shouldn't come to that.

I didn't think the first half D on him was THAT bad. He had over 100 yards on 2 catches. One was the 70 yarder due to multiple missed tackles. And the second one looked like a robber coverage. Front 7 showed a blitz look and dropped out of it. On the back end, Deon Bush jumped a curl route. I think we were trying to entice a quick throw and sit on the intermediate route that was just beyond he sticks, but Ebron took it deep.

It was an obvious PI. Come on, guys, I will gladly lead any "the-refs-hate-Miami" campaign because IMO it´s true. But that one was obvious. He grabbed the WR´s left hand and then still had time to let go and wrap the same arm (right) around the guy´s hip. He also had his left hand on the WR´s upper right arm. All while the ball was in the air. Refs had to call it.

And what do you mean by late? Because the flag was already on the ground when the ball hit the ground.

Shhhh!!!! You're not allowed to be objective here. That was obviously the worst call against us since OSU.
 
speaking of holding I wish someone would post a picture of Curtis Porters Jersey from last night literally it was hanging off him because it was soo badly torn from the holding you could see the buckles and straps. Those refs were not calling anything last night, but it was a close game so I am assuming they just let the boys play for the most part.

Go Canes
