I agree he needs players, but imo a good coach can adjust and change his scheme up if need be, that's park of football. Playing to the strengths of your guys is what we need to do on D unroll we get those guys.
I'm honestly not sure, I think people think I don't like him, but it's not the case. I think he is a good coach when he has those type of players for this scheme, and I like him. I just don't agree with his scheme for what GT has.
I know and he was able to do that because of the talent he had.
How do you know what technique is being coached at practice? Are you one of the few outsiders that Paul lets in during practice. For all we know the players aren't doing what they are being coached to do. Is not fact that the Ted "dumb" down assignments for the defensive players so they could play faster and more instinctual the last few weeks? So exactly how do you really know what is being asked of our players?
Are you really going to question whether roof coaches gap defense or not? I don't need to be at practice to see that lol, there's a huge difference in what we do and gap defense. And I like how you only bring that up but competely ignore everything else I said, does that mean you have no answers for everything else?
Are you a coach? If yes, I suggest putting in your resume. You know what scheme works and what doesn't apparently? I'm sure your current form of employment is sufficient in getting you ready to coach 18-22 year old kids at a higher level than the Professional Coaches we have on staff today.
What are you so worked up about? My opinion? It's really not that big of a deal. I understand different schemes in football and I understand it takes specific players to run specific schemes, and I'm sure if you were to ask a college coach they would tell you the same. Do you honestly think just because someone coaches at the college level they are a great coach or know it all? I have no doubt he's a good coach and I don't blame him for wanting to run his scheme, it's what he knows, but just because it's what he knows doesn't mean it can't be changed to better things or that it will work with the players we have. But once again this is just my opinion and it's really not worth getting upset about.
You are the one that seems to know what kind of scheme we run. I see Francis getting bull rushed because he lost leverage. I see Pat getting blasted by a bigger man than him and he not able to handle himself. I see Brandt over running plays ALL YEAR including today. I see Keshon getting put on his knees by bigger tackle. Is Ted calling the wrong type of blitzes? Is Pelton really teaching something that his kids can't do? Really, that is what you think. So you are so astute at football schemes and what we run vs other teams that you can tell that our players don't always do what they are coached, but are coached to fail. You are good?
Pretty spot on. We are below average. I think our talent is better than what we show. We just fail to utilize that talent to its fullest potential. Simple adjustments could be made. Keep in mind, Roof runs a scheme created in the early 80s to combat west coast offenses. Which is why we struggle against modern offenses. We could implement, stunts, delayed blitzes, CB blitzes, red dog blitz patterns or even a zone blitz. Heck, at this point, I'd take a basic A gap blitz done right.
Do you understand what a gap style defense is? known as a one-gap D. In a one-gap D you are avoiding the blocks by shooting gaps and you have one specific gap that is yours. what we do is go into the block and try to fight off blocks to fill two gaps (the gap to the right and the one to the left) which is know as a two- gap D. If our D line is not big, fast, or strong enough to get off the blocks, which you yourself proved by saying we are getting pushed around, why go into the OL instead of shooting a gap and avoiding the block as much as possible? You can even play one- gap on the strong side and two- gap on the weak side of the play. Imo this allows LB's to run more freely. One- gap insures a better chance for a hole to be clogged and can help force RB's to make cut backs towards the backside D line and LB's if the gap being slanted into is the direction of the run. Imo we don't run this for the simple fact that roof knows how to run the two-gap better. So the guys are being taught it correctly, but it is just not playing to their strengths Imo, which, like I said, you showed by saying the guys are being blown off the ball.
Thank you I'll think about it. Lol man what is yalls issue with someone having an opinion. It's comical actually. Not one time did I say I was right, I simply am saying this is my opinion.
To add. The LBs also need to be on the same page as the DL. Too many times I've seen our LBs run up the backside of our own DL. Which makes one OLineman block 2 people. It looks like a cluster F, out there some times. Is that the DL not moving correctly, to open the gap? Is it poor execution? Is it even being taught? I really don't know. All I know is, we seem to telegraph a blitz so well, Stevie Wonder sees it coming. I also see, we rarely be anyone through unblocked. We can bring more people than blockers, yet we all get blocked. Why is that?
To be as fair as I think is possible, a lot of that IS talent. Not all of it, but some of it at least.
Yes I do understand. I also know we have undersized DL playing out of position. We have 3 legit interior DL and those guys are RSFR, SO, FR. LB's are young and inexperienced. Popular opinion is that are DB's are short and slow. Where is this so called talent that is not being used correctly. It doesn't matter if you shoot the gap or go straight at your man. When our DL engaged their OL they got pushed in what ever direction the OL wanted to push him. We won today because Kirby is not smart. We won today because the d gave up FG's instead of TD"s. We won today because we had offensive players make enough plays to break their hearts. We finally stole one from them rather than getting robbed. Tech out coached ugag for once.
