I pick apart the D... Mainly because I see all the wrong stuff going on. However; there has been an improvement lately. Will it continue? We'll see. If we beat UGA, I expect to move up a little in the bowl placement. So, right now. We are either Sun Bowl or Military Bowl. I think that is about the limit of our bowl invitation.
He did what he had to do. I love CTR and I think we'll only get better as we go along.
Isn't ppd one of the best stats to go by when telling if you have a good D or not lol? Yea, let's just ignore that.
I am definitely willing to give him another year if, for no other reason, just to get those recruits in ... like the Swillings
I guess, if you honestly think it was our D who won our games over the offense. Where do you get that our D is good? We give up more ppd than teams normally get against other D's. Our ypp are awful, turnover ratio is awful. I understand we have stopped teams when needed but do you really expect that to happen all the time when we play bad in so many areas on D? We can't get off the field and that hurts our offense in a big way, and this isn't just me talking it's our head coach saying this (not getting of the field). When we play awful offenses we play OK and when we play good offenses we play AWFUL. I would much rather play good against bad offenses and just decent against good offenses. And you said that UGA didn't score enough to win but my argument is that they scored on 4 of 9 drives (not counting the 30 seconds they had before the end of the game and the one before half) that's almost 50 percent of the time they scored on us and thats even with a missed field goal, how is that good in your opinion? Our coaching staff is not even pleased with the way the D has played. Please answer the questions presented because you always ignore them and say look at the final score or whatever (which your right it's all that matters) but that doesn't mean a D is good because of that. If you give UGA 15 drives like they probably get when playing other offenses then they probably would have put up over 40 on us, is that good? You gotta look at efficiency when a team doesn't get the ball much over the score the D held them to. So I ask again please tell me what the D does well?
When your DL is being owned because they play a simple scheme that is go straight into the OL with your hands and shed of blocks (when they are not good enough to do as shown almost all year) instead of shooting gaps, that is coaching. Scheme can stop you from being blown down field. I'm sorry but there are to many D's that we are just as talented as imo that play a different scheme and are way better than us. I like roof and I'm not doubting his knowledge of football and knowing how to coach it but I'm questioning his scheme. We are not Alabama where we can stand up the OL and shed off a block consistantly, so why are we trying that? I understand this is what roof runs as a D coordinator, and it's what he knows and if he had the guys to run this scheme he could do well with it, but if your guys can't do it then you need to change it even if it takes you learning a new scheme.
Yet you still ignore my questions, how do you say it's them winning it over the offense? I understand it's a team sport and D, O, and special teams matter, but one of those three things can play bad and you still get a win. So when it comes to on the field play what do they do well? And also, do you expect all those "other things" to keep happening and you continue to win games? Did you miss the point about when we play good offenses how bad we are? I understand football pretty well and have backed up what I'm saying, but you have not done that one time showing what they do well. Sooner or latter bad things on D or O will come back and you won't get all the brakes. Do you also ignore the fact that the guys being payed (our coaches) are not even happy birthday it's what our D has done?
