    What flavor is it? I played with the G5000 model and it was nice. SA for days, but that was several years ago.

    I would say that they seem to get some of that directly from their coordinator.

    Because it works on a white board. Among our many…curious defensive strategies seems to be one where any 11 bodies on the field have the same value as any other 11 bodies on the field, and that the base package is a legitimate way to play short yardage defense. PK needs his make right guy, because he seems to be pretty tone deaf to the game in very obvious situations. We apparently have no one on staff capable of cutting out his headset and overriding some of his less well considered decisions.

    You’re close, but not a single person has posited the most likely culprit. Crab People. Go to Walmart late at night and tell me that some of those shellbacked monsters perusing the aisles aren’t actually overgrown crustaceans.

    I kept irrationally hoping we’d show the counter, and then roast them for attacking it. Silly me.

    Think about your left clavicle hurting like hell and then trying to drive a football with your right hand. Ewers throws at all speeds, but he was throwing a lot of floaters and seemed to lack zip on the ball. His wheel to Bijan and the final interception off of JTS had some heat, but it didn’t look right all afternoon. Perhaps why he often back footed a lot of throws at the first sign of pressure. He hit Billingsley on that cross late, and it looked like he labored to do it. It’s pure conjecture, but I’m curious if he aggravated his injury from earlier in the season
  7. Bobby_Batronic
    I think he re-injured his shoulder. Maybe in the ISU game. Not enough to keep him out, but enough to effect his throwing.
  8. Bobby_Batronic
    He is pretty good. I thought so when I saw the game. Both of his scores were on coverage busts. I’m fine if we fail when their second best option beats us after we take away their best option. We were trying to do something smart and didn’t have the horses to pull it off. Ok. It was pretty much the Hutchison show or bust for the last two quarters of the game. Taking away Worthy really puts a lid on our scoring potential. I’m fine with doing that to other teams. Particularly ones that aren’t good on offense to begin with.

    You’re conflating my side eye at our defensive foibles with some idea that I didn’t see Cain’s issues or a few other missed opportunities to put the game away in a more comfortable manner. In the context of the game we both flubbed sure fire easy 6’s. In the context of the argument at hand we did diddly to stop their only real weapon from having a career day. We’re finally getting some breaks to go our way. That’s nice. It doesn’t mean I don’t see us failing to even try to do some intelligent things to limit their only viable means of moving the football.

    This. My post above was cutoff before o could edit it. Coverage busts aside, could anyone see a discernible coherent strategy to limit Hutchison’s effectiveness? I sure couldn’t. We do weird shit on defense. Play honest fronts with two deep safeties at incredibly inappropriate times, substitute bizarrely, and default to sit and take it mode. I understand that we don’t have a single edge that gives an OC a hint of heartburn, and that our coverage between the corners is adventuresome at best. Noted. I can deal with failure due to lack of Jimmy’s and Joes despite intelligent attempts to take away things the opponent does well. I see us lacking the players and just doing what we do. Sometimes we do what we do well. Sometimes what we do intersects nicely with the opponent and we look pretty good. And then sometimes the opponent is less cooperative. And still we do what we do.

    Cain wasn’t in danger of single handedly taking over the game while keeping their offense alive. Yes, both teams had pretty sure big gainers flubbed, but that wasn’t the point. Their big WR should have gone for 11 catches and 200 yards against us.
  12. Bobby_Batronic
    He’s really good when he’s singled up or lonely in the middle of the field. That’s my point. We did very little to make it difficult for him or his QB by having to get past his first read. Hutchison is going to get his catches if he gets 10 of then for 8-9 yards a reception instead of 15 it’s a very different game. And we were one fortuitous drop from him having 200 yards on Saturday

    Texas plays two high zone to near exclusivity. Obviously there are a lot of variations there. I can’t look live and decide if we’re in some form of quarters or whatever, but I can tell when we’re robbing underneath or throwing extra coverage one way. The big give away is the extra bodies around the r threat you’re trying by to diminish. ISU had an offensive breakout against Texas. There’s a bit of difference between a given reviver catching 10 balls for 88 yards and 1 TD, and basically doubling that against us. Outlier performances happen. They just happen with regularity against us.
  14. Bobby_Batronic
    My uneducated eyes see us running our stuff down after down, and just changing out personnel as the adjustment. It’s certainly trying something, but it’s not doing everything in our power to take away the one dude who’s beating time and again. I would be less critical of our approach if I saw us attempting that and failing. Ok, we asked them to beat us by making their second and third best option perform above their heads to beat us, or option one to make circus catches with two guys draped on him to win the play time and again. I’m not seeing that. Just trying different bodies to do the same thing.

    Fat bottomed girls make the rocking world go ‘round.
  16. Bobby_Batronic
    At this point I’d settle for old school doubling somebody. Just show that you’re trying to make them beat you left handed.
  17. Bobby_Batronic
    We seem to operate in the “well someone else might beat us” train of thought with regard to taking away a team’s best offensive threat. So f’ing be it. Take away their best threat on third and PK, and if they complete it to option three and beat you on the series then tip you cap, and ask them to do it again. We’re just situationally brain dead in those instances, and our defensive substitution packages deserve a fair share of ire too.
  18. Bobby_Batronic
    I think being average was about it anyone realistically hoped for. That paired with a legit offense has won this conference more than a few times. I can see the improvement. But our margin is razor thin. Probably enough to keep us from reaching our goal this year unless our offense plays out of its mind during a few critical games.
  19. Bobby_Batronic
    It seems it’s PK’s default setting when something unexpected shows up. I actually don’t fault him much for that. We see it all of the time when a semi-competent back up QB enters the game and the DC doesn’t have a cheat sheet for tendencies and strengths/weaknesses. I wasn’t impressed that the concept surprised us for two quarters. But that’s a nit for another day much like us not being ready for a team to attempt a fourth down conversion against us even if they were all tricky and didn’t do it out of a conventional offensive formation (fake FG).
  20. Bobby_Batronic
    I’m sure most competent staffs can sit down for 20 minutes during halftime and cobble together the basic strategies required to shut down a wildcat offense with no ability to complete a forward pass. We didn’t look like we anticipated wildcat well which is pretty interesting given that we featured it ourselves when QE went down, and it took us 2 quarters to decide that playing 2 high coverage and honest fronts against it was stupid. We shut it down once it was decide that their RB’s weren’t in fact going to slice and dice our secondary through the air.
  21. Bobby_Batronic
    I think that was their last drive of the first half. They actually managed to move the ball, but we’re actually in negative yardage territory up to that point for the half. I looked at my brother and asked if he’d ever seen a team have negative yardage at halftime.

    Clemson is a shadow of itself with coaching brain drain as its staff is siphoned off, reduced talent and a dude with NFL measurables, an offensive number of vowels in his last name and middling ability as a college QB taking snaps. They’ll get a train run on them if they meet a legitimate top 10 opponent at some point this season.
  23. Bobby_Batronic
    I think that’s more than anyone could have reasonably hoped for given last year’s disastrous defensive performance. I think the angst is mostly that we’re situationally stupid given our players’ abilities and the penchant for most college offenses being able to complete short passes against air. It’s irksome. This defense becomes more fun if we really get the offense humming and then opposing offenses have to try to score often using a lot of short gains.
