[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 90627, member: 639"] We are having problems. There is no doubt about that. However, characterizing UNC as something less than a very good offense, in order to make a point, is probably not accurate. They have really gelled and finally found their starting QB. My guess is that they will finish as one of the best units in the ACC, if not the country, when the season is over. Don't confuse having a crappy defense as not being a good offense. Having said that, we made them look even better than they are. A lot better. Saying the solution is easy is just not being intellectually honest. This zone read scheme is just killing us. IMHO pointing the finger at our secondary is really not that accurate, especially after last night's game. When UNC (or any other team running this scheme) spreads us out with 4 wides it puts maximum focus on the front four to stop the option run with only 6 in the box against a really big elusive scrambler. They have 5 guys available to block and they are optioning off one of our 4. In this situation our front 4 is just not making any plays. Think of the pressure this is putting on our secondary. They have to cover for an eternity on every play AND be a force in run support. The only real solution to this dilemma is guys up front defeating blocks so LBs can take their assignment with the option. Well, we aren't doing that, nor are we doing anything to disrupt the passing game's timing either. What we are facing is really a dire situation, but I do agree in a sense, in that we might be able to help ourselves with, at least, some unpredictability to our blitz scheme and a little greater frequency of use. For example, how often do we come with a CB blitz? In last night's game, as a DC, I would have felt free to use the kitchen sink because we weren't stopping them anyway. What risk was there is trying huge risk plays on defense? It is kind of a stupid sentence, but you know what I mean right? Currently when we bring numbers, we are still slow in getting there.
