Making a Better Football Fan

[Trav]

Once he sets his foundation along with getting the personnel that fits his scheme, this defense should be back to the silver bullets standards that haven't been seen in the last few years.

Definitely trying to be as realistic as possible but I fa'sho don't think that a quick turnaround is off the table. Especially with the schedule like @DropTopDoc mentioned. It's been way too much inconsistency the past few years. Some of that due to staff turnover, yeah, but also due to stubborn ass coaches as well. Im just glad that it appears Day is catching his shyt quickly.

Not gon lie his defense scares me, i understand the cover 3 you guys used to have the edge rushers and secondary, now it’s tbd, I know you all have talent but we’ve yet to see that stud emerge, but the beautiful part is his defense doesn’t need a quote on quote stud, and given the athletes you all have, who ever is the Leo, they will be something, not sure who will stretch you all vertically or eat up the run game to force you all out into the conflicts to the defense

I like the LB Mesh that he'll incorporate should do wonders now that we don't necessarily have the rushers or secondary (without some growth). Far too often, these LBs were taking hella bad angles or making the wrong read and sending mf's off to the races at the most inopportune times. He seems to be about keeping it simple but creating chaos and confusion at the same time, which for young college QBs, it's like their worst enemy. He did it at oklahama s without big names and was able to constantly generate pressures.

Also, underrated is that he bought over Tanner McCalister who will be a 4 yr starter in the scheme that will bring that experience and stabiltiy.


But yeah, with the schedule, there isn't a whole lot of high flying octane offenses that should be about to stretch us fr. ND should theoretically be the test obviously but Maryland might be a small dark horse. Niccas sleepin on them.

I hope bro on some Venables shyt though if he pan out fr. Be able to keep him for a decade or close to it til he wait for the perfect situation that would get him up out here. Tired of the revolving doors for some of the position coaches and DEF coach specifically. Game is the game tho.

The days of venables is over, schools are burning through coaches in 2-3 years, so theoretically, especially with a good season he could be gone, that’s the unfortunate price of a Death Star program, there is huge turnover in staff and personnel, but then again he may not have high aspirations for the HC life, we are seeing that trend, it’s no telling, but auburn, gtech, possibly fsu are at the very least coming open, not including if some coaches say fukk this and head to the nfl

@DropTopDoc True. Dem days do seem to be over but there still seems to be a few outliers out here and Im hoping he's one of em. At the same time, if it's what he would want if he gets the shot to go do his own thing, more power to that man just like Haf down at BC (who I think could've landed a better job if gives us even just another year or so). Knowles said he been working 56 years to get to a place like this so maybe this is creme de la creme for him. But at the same time, once you check off a goal on the bucket list, it start make you thinking bigger like be saying. Nicca's goal might be to make 100k salary one day but then when u get it, its like, ight, who finna give me 250k now?

How u feel about what yall gon look like this year? Who you bribe with a pair of khakis, chicken with a side if milk 4 the inside scoop?

 

[smitty22]

All the feedback coming from camp is that the defense is looking much better than the last couple of years. We will find out if that is true next month against ND.

Yes sir. Apparently they showed out in the scrimmage Saturday.

Mixed reports, some of the same, some what our oc having some more laterality, it’s been whispers that Jim is willing to cut loose with our latest oc, bottom line, def some running, what the passing game and how much only Jim and the lord knows, but it be a waste of all this offensive talent, especially wrs

What say you about our offense @Trust Me @intra vires

Looks like you guys will mix some of your single high look from the past in there too


The more I look at these films and realize some things, like how you can get coached up, but a lot of technique gets lost in the heat of the moment, and a few plays happen because of simple mechanics not being followed in critical moments

That and putting too much on these young dudes who are still learning. He appears to wanna pjt that on himself though.
