Billy had 1 bad play call? Did you even watch the second half? The entire thing was a freaking disaster. The only thing that sucks worse than tater is tater's offense.
Yes, we need offensive lineman, but we need defensive linemen, linebackers and secondary. We do not have a defense capable of a whole game; poor tackling at the end of our last two games cost us both of them.
We need everything, transfer portal could make our LOS at least avg, but will BN spend 6 weeks vetting every single potential transfer while FSU and Ole Miss stockpile players like last year
You know, if anybody needed convincing of just how impotent our defense is/was, this stat should help clear things up. Now if somebody had access to one of those giant university-sized computers to calculate the missed tackles, ‘cause that’s about what it would take to work with a figure that high, it should provide more than enough justification for a refitting.
Yeah, well when you run into the tackler standing up higher than a camel c*ck, you’re kinda inviting that. Of course it shoulda been a penalty, but the no-call was a payback to Norvell for getting in the ref’s @ss on the roughing call early in the game. It happens, but young Eugene Wilson III will hopefully learn how to better protect himself should he find himself in a similar position. GA, position coach, whatever, that look doesn’t help anybody out.
Some of our issues on the Defense can & should be somewhat mitigated by strength & conditioning, experience, and coaching.
No argument about a few of the secondary guys making better tackles, but I say it all the time. When you are complimenting DB's and S's on their tackling, you are not going to win a lot of games. We need guys who can cover with proper technique and understand down and distance. The days of big hitting is over. No need. Have to be able to cover (we have no one) and make tackles immediately (we have few)
The crapper of this is...that is what that huge staff should have been doing already. Film should have been watched a season.
Perplexing, right? Terrible form. They do that in practice or that they don't get practice on sideline routes because they are playing our offense, which doesn't run conventional routes? No answer.
The nole drove him into the ground on the tackle and continued while he was on the ground. Should have been a penalty.
Sooo what you're saying is even Corey Raymond, the most experienced coach on staff, can't coach these kids?
Sure seems that way...no improvement....none, just like with the oline and special teams.
Raymond came in from LSU as a splash hire for the defense and recruiting. Looked like we were gonna be out of the woods for good secondary coverage and tackling. None of that has happened, and where has Raymond been? Why all the fanfare for Corey Raymond? He should be out front loudly coaching these guys up because our D backfield play remains abysmal with high school level (at best) skills on coverage, and tackling remains a total joke for every team member, not just the secondary. Watching a guy like Kimber not even try to tackle makes you wonder how bad are the backups?
