UCF going knighty knight

Haven't scrolled through all this, just here to say, "I can't do this yet"

 

[Detroitgator]

I expect more like 350

So 349 is a "win"?

After 2 and half years Billy Retard finally notices that our defense can't even get lined up before the play starts

Fuching unreal. Perhaps I did not read for context but:

According to Napier, the Gators performed well on third-downs, save for the handful of times they didn't, and generally played "really good defense" outside of the stretches of game when "we disappear" or "kind of fall apart."

"Still I think between-play process, I think playing against tempo, I think that overall," Napier said, "that group [Florida's defense] needs a little bit more consistency."

After five weeks, Napier has pinpointed alignment woes as one of his defense's most detrimental flaws as they've led to blown assignments, missed tackles, poor run fits and coverage breakdowns.

"(Quality control coach) Justin Posthuma is the in-house defensive coordinator, so he's in charge of recreating the game for the offensive players throughout the week," Napier said. "I will tell you he does a phenomenal job. We are trying to do the same things for special teams and defense."

huh?

"I think we'll be intentional about making sure that that environment is what we want it to be, you know, and really just support the players. Their opinion matters, and I think, you know, no matter if it's right or wrong sometimes, you got to listen. I think the big thing is some of the things that we emphasized helped our team. I think we have to continue to do that. So there will be even more of that. Ultimately, we have a very specific plan in terms of how we think we can come up with solutions for some of those things."

Awesome coach, and good news that you are intentionally intentional.

After all, the Florida skipper spent an entire offseason telling anyone willing to listen that his team had made significant strides across the board only to be thrashed by Miami and Texas A&M in front of a home crowd that booed throughout both games.

Napier said his team should be ready for the test after what described as an encouraging week.

"It was a lot of fun to be a part of," he said Monday. "Hopeful that we got better. I feel as if we got better last week.

Good to know "coach".

I remember once talking to a mindcamp certified pumper and dared to call Billy "below average".

He snapped back at me "below average"?

I told him I was trying to be kind to Billy Retard and give him the benefit of the doubt.

In reality he is totally and abjectly unfit for a HC job in Div 1 football. Period.

That means he is the defensive coordinator for the scout team. He basically has to watch film of the other team and attempt to make his scout team line up and run their fits the way the next opponent will run the defense. Unless you've played them before that's probably going to be a lot of guessing.

Scout team is a critical job. And it's a hard job because you have to switch playbooks every single week to mimic the upcoming opponent.

If Billy thinks he's doing a great job I'm going to assume that means he's terrible.

Yeah. That part was Billy Retard basically saying that the problem with the defense isn't that it only has to go up against his slow, plodding, and predictable offense in practice -- it's that the scout team offensive coordinator sucks. More excuses.

No, no, no. Our defense goes up against the scout team offense.

Our offense works against the scout team defense.

You dont have OUR 1s (or 2s or 3s) offense learning the other team's OFFENSE to show it to our starting defense, or vice versa. The scout team does that. It is a tough job and critically important.

Our offense does attempt film study of the other teams DEFENSE and only gets a couple of days to do it. That alone is very difficult. I think the better teams try to get a bunch of that study done during the summer so it's just a review; I also think we're not close to one of the better teams.

*only on defense and special teams (offense he does a great job!)

 

[Egor's Assistant]

Here's some more insights from the article posted above.

"Florida ranks among the bottom 25 percent of FBS teams in scoring defense, total yards allowed per game, third and fourth-down conversion percentage allowed, opposing rushing yards per game, opposing completion percentage and opposing passing yards per game, among other damning statistics."

Nice.

I was thinking more about spring and fall camp where I'd think you'd put the 1s against each other some.

But this does make me wonder what we did for the scout teams previous to the rule change on countable coaches. Did the coordinators coach both the scout teams and the 1s, or did we have position coaches or grad assistants doing it?

I've got a different take on this. I think it simply means that even a guy throwing together the best guess scout team game plan against Billy's offense is effective in practice with our 3's and walk ons against the 1s. So, Billy is noting how good this guy is doing because he's capable of making the offense "get better".

Yet, as we know, all that is likely happening is this scout DC is laughing at what an easy job he has slowing down Billy's offense. Whereas, the defense likely dominates players used to being coached by our offensive staff, regardless of their scheme.

We should win, but you might want to keep a couple of those pizza's in the freezer just in case...

Frozen pizza is only required when I experience the event live...
