Hey PK -- What would you say you do here?

[LTtxfan 49148]

Kstate offense struggles to go vertical... they love dink and dunk, running the ball, and controlling time of possession to keep their defense off the field.

They are highly efficient in red zone scoring.  

PK better put together a more aggressive defensive plan this Saturday...  Texas defense can not afford to just sit back and allow Kstate to have long drives that consume the clock. We also need to get some fuckin' turnovers -- tackle better and strip the damn ball !!!

I agree. Come up and challenge the qb to beat you over the top and throw accurately. He has been known to give you a couple, but that's not gonna happen 9 yards off the man on a 5 yrd out route.

Get them ready PK.  Let's create turnovers 🤘

Need to stop the option game. Kansas ran for almost 5 yards a carry vs Texas. Their RBs were 16 for 91 (5.7 per). KSU will look at that film and try to replicate it. Secondary cant give up the easy dink and dunk, but this game will be won by running the football and stopping the run.

They locked down the crosser on 3rd down as well. Forced their QB to throw a missile into a crowd of players. Actually, after rewatching it again, Texas got lucky Howard threw a bad pass, their WR was wide open. Ford got distracted by the guy that came from the left and followed him for a step or two before realizing he had help behind him, but by then it was too late and #10 flashed in front of him. 

Blackwell had a similar fuck up on the 4th down conversion on the KSU drive to tie it at 30. Our LBs just do a fucking horrible job of pattern recognition and the communication with the safeties is fucking abysmal. Juxtapose that with how KSU defended our mesh concept on the drive to take the lead on 3rd down. Two defenders were ready to tackle Worthy short of the line to gain.

I don't understand why opposing teams just don't run mesh concepts the entire game against us. If you have any speed at the WR position you will get chunk plays on high percentage short throws.

So he lays out all these points, then the two example clips he uses are a safety bust and the worst tackling efforts of the year on what would normally be a 8 yard gain?

Isn't it Joseph actually in charge of the coverages? His title is Defensive Passing Game Coordinator. Pete needs to be more forceful to get Joseph to tighten this shit up.

He is.. I still don't fully understand why the coverages are disconnected from the fronts like that and why PK lets that shit keep happening. It was our biggest gripe about year 1. 

[US183 125]

Why are we playing off coverage on most every passing play when we have 2 of the best man coverage backs? Brooks and Mohammed should be on the line disrupting the WR’s. PK appears to be either stupid or trying to lose. 

[bschoolprof 6252]

Some have speculated PK didn't really coordinate the back end at Washington, leaving that to Lake, and conjecturing he does something similar here.  Who knows.  

[Yesh 911]

How often are we in a coverage where we have 2 deep safeties that have no other responsibilities than a half field zone?  Wouldn't you want some protection if you were going to have your CBs press at the LOS?  Don't we usually have our safeties picking up slots/TEs?  I mean we could keep our safeties in deep zone, but then we would need our LB/NB to man up inside receivers, which might not be a good idea (I mean LBs, Barron would be fine) and could also affect the run defense.

He goes by that bullshit coaching mantra of letting other guys coach, that's his specialty, I don't need credit, blah blah blah.  He was like that at Washington when Peterson replaced him as playcaller too.  He basically said he was all for it, we're all in this together etc.  I don't think he's the alpha personality that's going to enforce anything on other coaches.  So ultimately this is Sarks fault.  He has to have the nads to make the coaches give him the scheme he wants.

Every defense in America does it in some way, shape or form, yet every fan base in America thinks their team is the only one that does it. 

The number of defenses with 5 trustworthy members of the secondary who can be deployed exactly how a coach wants can probably be counted on 1 or 2 fingers.

Unless PK is thinking he wants to change his mind and eventually want to become the HC at USC after Riley leaves or he hates it here (which are pretty much counter to everything we have ever heard) this is just wish casting by the USC $9.95ers..

Go look at all the recognizable DCs in the top 20 and then who has tie to USC but not necessarily only to Riley...

I am not sure how I feel about this, but I will say I would trade PK for Aranda.. I know that is peak message board nonsense, but that is my dream scenario. 

[Fico 1778]

Or…. And this may be crazy… we keep our DC, continue the upward trajectory of our defense (which is already pretty good). We are actually getting better each year, and developing players. We haven’t seen that trend since Muschamp was here.

Aranda would be a solid consolation prize, if he’s even fired/looking to be a DC right away

This.  We're not losing our coordinator to fucking usc.... Nor should we want to.  The list of guys that are possibly better than pk and have an interest in being a career defensive coordinator are few and far between.  Consistency matters.  As much as it pains me to be down on a Texas ex, the biggest issues are on the backend of the defense.  I think we need a change there, whether it's one or both.  Joseph has never stuck around for long and really hasn't been an elite coach outside of recruiting... Which has certainly been very good.  Gideon was a muschamp guy and while I like him, doesn't appear to fit what pk needs.  The staff was thrown together to fit muschamp.  Let him pick his guys and see where things go.

It amazes me that there are individuals in our fanbase that actually want PK gone after all of the coaching instability we've had over the past decades. This defense has flaws, but they've improved massively since he's arrived.

Definitely things to be improved, and I'm not completely sold on our secondary coaching, but wanting PK gone at this point is asinine imo. It's like we never learn.

People need to believe in the reality that you win upfront and that no matter how good you are you will get beat on the backend occasionally.

The scheme is allowing our DTs to dominate. The front is doing a great job overall. But some of the issue last Saturday was poor to terrible contain in our pass rush.

Sometimes the other guy makes a play. Howard made some damn good throws. Look at the Taafe pick. That was a damn near perfect throw. Great coverage too. Don’t tell me Brooks didn’t impact the WR.

Bingo.....I wonder how our secondary would look if some of those holds that aren't called get called. I think it completely changes how our secondary looks because our DL would be able to feast if they're not getting tackled.

Need Catalon to be healthy this week since he's experienced practicing against "baby briles" offense.  

Really hope PK and his defensive staff are gaining good intel on this toad offensive system from Catalon.
