Do you think that maybe he wasn't getting the best OL blocking him last year and this year he is?

And in every game where the other team had an OL with a pulse they scored without blitzing anyway. The VT game is not a good example of the defense because their OL is all frosh and their QB makes poor decisions. Every other team we face has a much better OL, and we will get no pressure bringing 4.

It's much more of a team effort than you think. When the DL can't get pressure, the secondary looks bad. Coverages aren't supposed to last for more than 8 seconds really, if not shorter. When you're covering a guy for 15-20 seconds, he will make you look bad. When you've only got 3/4 DL who...

Prior to the show, I was wondering about this stat. It seems like it would be obvious that there is no way an OL doesn't hold from time to time and get called on it. Is that over the whole season? Or just the latest streak? I don't think I can recall a single holding call this season. Utterly...

What about Auburn, USC, FSU? They seem to be doing better.

Yeah, I never said that. Glad you're aren't teaching reading comprehension.

Until this year we had a decent level of talent on D. Groh couldn't get the playmakers to make plays. Last year wasn't bad. This year Roof keeps wanting the D to "level up" or something. He has to adjust. This year, bringing 4 will do nothing against a decent offensive line(ie not VT). Why even...

We'll have to agree to disagree. It isn't that simple.

Smelter did what he was supposed to do. The coach didn't make it clear that we had to run the clock out if we were going to win.

The problem? Might want to be a bit less cryptic. I don't think most of us have our usual proper deductive capacity.

I do not fault a single player. I fault the game plan.

And who are we going to get to run it? It's not that simple man.

He needs to prove he can win against Pitt, UVA, and Clem. I'll take UGA, but I don't think the best coach in world can beat them with our D. I didn't need him to beat Clem to prove his worth until these last 2 games. If he can pull it off, I'll back off. I'm an outsider(in terms of what's going...

Brilliant? Effective certainly, but brilliant? Why would you ever want our D back on the field every 4 minutes? As for 10-2, I still think we are that team. But with these in-game decisions, I don't think we win another.

Then we lose, just like we did tonight. I'd rather take the small chance of a TO from our offense than the huge chance that UNC scores at the end there.

Talent is a huge problem. But scheme is a bigger problem if you try to use a scheme suited to good talent. You have to scheme around what you have. Right now, I think the defense can be better with the talent we have. Accordingly, the biggest problem now is scheme.

You don't need special on offense against our D. You need FBS competent, which Pitt is.

It will be a problem if we get rid of CPJ, which was Eric's point.

We don't have the talent this year. So why make your decent DBs try to cover for 6 minutes while your front 4 make no progress? Throw 6-7 at them every play and hope the other team makes a mistake. That's all you can do.

No, smelt stops after the first down. I need the field to eat clock. We weren't going to get a stop unless we brought 7 every play. Roof wasn't going to do that.
