Defense

[Whiskey_Clear]

I wonder if Brant is a really good practice player, but for some reason it doesn’t translate to the game? You hear about guys who aren’t that great in practice but in games are better. At this point I’d put the higher upside guys in, unless others at the time are just WAY better. You might have more bigger plays against you, but you might also create more bigger plays.

CNW hasn’t been here long enough to develop “favorites”. And it’s pretty clear he’s making the personnel calls on that side. Maybe he will make a change. Maybe there is a reason he’s playing the guys he is.

I wasn’t impressed with either the pressure or containment. Big fails on both imo.

Compare the pressure this year to the lack of pressure last year, and you should be impressed at least with the effort.

That was piss poor defense in the second half.

Go Jackets!

We had one sack yesterday and one sack today. We are on pace for 12 sacks. But hey our new defense is "aggressive"

What is tfl count? Cuz sacks are not but a small portion of how a defense plays behind the line

 

[Texwood]

I would like to coach our defense I would play the 8-5-8 we could stop the run or passing unless they go to the,Tight end, then will would need to be in the 7-7-7

I always love the way you think, stech....

 

[Oakland]

Very disappointing and unimpressive. I hope we didn't make a mistake.

I’ll have to watch the tape. You may be right. It didn’t seem much better live though.

I do like the way we are penetrating gaps more this year. I just haven’t seen it lead to appreciable sacks or pressure yet and our QB contain was a mess again today.

I just think we are still in need of more athleticism.

But again....I need to watch some replays.

Man please. Roof ain’t here no more buddy. It’s pretty clear CNW is making the personnel calls on that side and I don’t think he’s been here long enough to develop any pets yet. Didn’t see any evidence he played pets over ballers at App State either....but whatever. Keep submitting your resume to Tstan after every game.

I just wanted to see a QB spy in the second half.

That QB could have been contained by the DL if we called off the stunts. Live and learn.

 

[Ramblin Jacket]

Groh ran a 2 gap system. Nate Woody doesn’t. The players may line up the same, but they are different. It is true in order to run an effective 2 gap you need guys like UGA and Bama are recruiting, but that isn’t the case for what NW is doing.

And you know this because...? What is your pedigree in football?

New coach though.

 

[Northeast Stinger]

No, this idiot saw it too. They overrespected the pass, in my opinion. That left room underneath for the QB to run. I think after Tariq got tossed, CNW felt we were too thin to adjust and cheat the middle. Just a guess.

I actually thought making the quarterback run rather than sit in the pocket and pick us apart was a good strategy. However, it seemed like our linebackers were slow tracking down the quarterback so that strategy did not work as well as I had wished.

Agree with comments by others that we seemed slow and in some cases overweight.

It’s been said by the coaches. Unless you are talking about Groh 2 gap system needing UGA, Clemson, Bama type talent, then history would tell us that. Idk of any 3-4 D that plays 2 gap without superior talent that does really well.

 

[Northeast Stinger]

I think it’s very possible he had more talent at App State than we have had here the last few years.

Perhaps but they would not necessarily have to be better players just better fits for the system. Woody is playing with players who were not recruited for his system.

 

[AlabamaBuzz]

The OP is correct in my opinion. We generally cannot get the type of nose tackles that a bammer or someone else can get for a 3-4, and without one of those, being aggressive is dangerous, but oh well. I know it is early, but talent, more than ANYTHING else, matters on the D-side of the ball.

I never said one thing about playing favorites. My question was if Brant might be a better practice player but it doesn’t translate to the game.

How many more pressures, how many more TFL etc?
