We have less talent than other teams?

Well VT has 5 guys on D that will get drafted this year. GT has 2-3. We have 1 maybe.

If you mean talent running a 40, bench press, shuttle time, then maybe we have more talent. If you mean diagnosing plays, tackling, covering, and actually playing football then no we dont have more talent on D then VT, GT and Duke.

I dont really understand the ****ing match between everyone on here. We can all agree the coach D needs to go, but the talent we have playing right now no matter what scheme I dont believe is better than a 40-50 ranked defense.

Its not black or white, both need to be better.

No one is saying our talent doesn't need to be better to get to where we want to go.

Here are the list of teams who held Duke Football to less overall yards and rushing yards than we did:

North Carolina Central
Memphis (allowed less than 50% of the rushing yards)
Ga. Tech (you should see these numbers - 50% less total yards and less than 40% total yards)
Pittsburgh allowed slightly LESS yards total and less rushing yards, and they were in a 58-55 shootout with Duke
Troy
Navy
Virginia
Virginia Tech
NC State

Yep. You guessed it. Every single ****ing team on their entire schedule.

Do you think we have more talent than any teams on that list?

I told you man, it's like talking to a brick wall. Some will not recognize the obvious. They will straw man themselves out of anything you say. I get it, and so do some and we want nothing more than to see our canes succeed, but we see garbage when we see it. It just sucks cause I bought into the car salesman **** also, but it's been way too long since we have been a factor. N all I do is follow a team that just sucks and self destructs. Yet here we are again, week after week flowing a team that just disappoints week after week, year after year, but hey they will find a way to label us fair weather fans cause we don't fall for all the BS............

No excuses for getting ran through by Duke. We have given up over 1,000 yards and 90+ points in 2 games against Duke and people are blamig the talent level? LOL

D coach needs to be fired. But to think virginia, duke , or tech or pretty much any acc team is heads and tails worse plAyers than us is laughable. Just cause you followed these guys since high school don't make them good college football players.
Give me a shorter, slower player with heart and good anticipation and who know where to be and is a good college player over some prototype player with potetiAl but can't do his job on a college football field.

I decided to make these 2 gifs after watching the game again..
A different story if Duke had the ball or it wouldn't have matter because someone whiffed on their blocks?

Amazing...FSU, Florida, USF and UCF are ranked better than us in total Defense. Hate to break the news but that's not because of talent.

That's a great play by Duke's #28 in the first gif. He blew that **** up.

The 2nd gif is just Malcolm Lewis being terrible in the open field. Have some wherewithal for christ sake. He could've cut left or cut right and he would've had yards either way. But no, let's run right into the back of our 6'6" Offensive Tackle.

WTF is Gus doing in that first clip? Was not attempting to block anyone.

And SMH at Lewis. That play ****ed me the **** off. He was lucky we still got the first down but that should have been a big play.
 
I *****ed about that Malcolm Lewis play for like 20 minutes after it happened. LOL. I was in total disbelief that a D-1 WR who's supposed to be some stud would run into the back of his Offensive Lineman when he had adequate running space to the left and right. He would still be running right now if he had any wherewithal.

That **** was embarrassing.

Here's an idea bro, avoid contact at all costs. Go left, go right, I don't care what you do. It's a screen and you're in the open field with big bodies in front of you. Time to play some good ol' hood ball like your back in the streets of Miramar.

That was a huge gainer to the inside.

The second gif is a touchdown if Crawford has vision or instinct at all.

You could make about 10 more, just off the top of my head-Morris 3rd down run out of bounds 1 yard short of the marker, 37's great coverage on the phd student, 22 being tackled by 31, 30 taking his always outstanding angles, the rb trucking 4 players, 31 trying to cover the rb down the sideline.

You almost have to laugh its so depressing.

IMO we have the talent in place to be a productive defense, they're not being utilized effectively and it shows. It's clear to me that thye have quit on the coaches as well which is something I didn't see happening to Golden.
 
since shannons been coming up lately, remember the louiville game or some of the games where wr screen was the only play beside qb draw and we were like, adjust...its same thing here under golden...talent or scheme both get thrown out the window when a coach wont adjust to prove a point...just shows u how stubburn muschamp is at UF lol what happened to the scheme being too complicated...notice how we arent hearing that one this year
