All I remember hearing with Ryan defense was broken promises. Not saying it ss his fault but u get tired of the bs.
Perception: Were going to blitz more.
Reality: We didn't blitz enuff.
Perception: were gong to plays more man.
Reality: we played zone
Perception: were going to bring our DBS closer to the line of scimmage.
Reality: the safeties are staying right where they at and we going bring the corners 10 yards off the line of scrimmage
My biggest issue with the defensive culture is the same I have with it as recent as last yer. We don't commit to what we say we going do. We didn't even commit to to our coverage in the Tampa two. We start off man last season and then before halfway through the season fell( or should I say "fail") back to playing zone.
With rob, it was all good the first week and then then we broke away form our commitment to wha we did week one and drifted in some watered down predictable defensive scheme. Same thing with Kiffin last season. That first game against the giant we forced 6turnovers and sacks and played well and then we went away from playing the same strategy and style we played from week oneal the weeks went in.
My thing is why can't we commit to what we planned to do back during the offseason and training camp. Is it the coaches or players don't have faith in the system or the coaches don't have faith in the players to produce in this system.
Damn look at this shyt. Season ain't even started and I'm already up early pondering the mysteries of this team. God I hope they give me something to cheer for.
