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

On the TD run, the problem is first and foremost Richardson. He engages no one. He along with the safety are playing a WR screen that wasn’t even part of the offensive plan. There is only one of 3 guys that even participates yet he’s the one called out. Does Brock need to make the play? Sure.

On that play, we have two guys covering the same gap. Richardson doesn’t see the ball and in fact turns his damn back to it. If he reads the play, he’s got a solo tackle at or near the LOS. Or at worst case, he provides enough force so that Brock does get there. Tapp does a poor job too. The RB is running right at Turner-Gooden. So order of priority of failure is Richardson, LTG then Brock/Tapp.

Go back and watch it now.

Also on the pass play that is Brock’s fault who the hell knows. But a DB did miss a tackle that resulted in about 30 extra yards.


I’ve watched last years games a shit ton. And after that Ford is not a better player. He’s just fucking not. You assholes would rather see a guy not get near the play than see him get close but not make it. Ford is not consistently better at taking on blocks, at staying on his feet, at getting off blocks, at finishing tackles, at finding his drop zone, at play recognition or at helping his teammates make plays. Last week I watched the WVU game again. Brock’s last of the season and next to last of the season to see how Ford “improved.” Ford wasn’t better and the team results were not better when Brock wasn’t on the field.

Last year the Dline was probably #1 or #2 along with DBs tackling people for the defensive issues. 2 missed tackles last night out of the DBs. DMO had 13 tackles and 1.5 TFLs in game 1 last year against a vastly superior team. Sorrell, Coburn and Ojomo may have all played better last night than any Dline guy last year. They caused more havoc and kept LBers cleaner. It is and always has been about the guys upfront. If you want Overshown to keep making plays, don’t let him get beat to hell. Comparing game 1s year over year, the ILBs were more productive last year than this year. This isn’t particularly noticeable when the Dline is dominating.

I don't care if it's PK or GP, nor do I care that it was ULM -- the tackling angles and basic technique were better.  That doesn't mean we're gonna hold 'bama to 30, nor is it automatically the end of the world if we don't.

Exactly. We saw improvement that could lead to a middle of the road P5 defense if they keep improving. And while it's largely because of how shitty the defense was last year, that was actually the best we could have hoped for in the first game. Even the most optimistic of fans coming into this season were hoping for a top 10 offense and a top 50 defense.

Pass Rush or Fool's Gold?

Texas was clearly much more effective getting to the passer versus ULM in the 2022 opener than it was in general in 2021. Even in a game where starting EDGE Ovie Oghuofo was fairly quiet, we saw a new starting JACK DE in Barryn Sorrell really step out into the spotlight for some excellent plays (1.5 sacks, a QB hit and a separate TFL), giving hope to the possibility that he can build upon the good flashes that we saw of him in 2021 while leaving behind the core-strength issues at the point-of-attack. We saw Demarvion Overshown's sub-package role with the starters off the edge actually being somewhat of a staple of the defensive scheme. Of Overshown's 26 snaps, 12 of them, or about 46%, were as an outside linebacker/EDGE-type player where Diamonte Tucker-Dorsey entered the game to play Overshown's vacated WLB spot inside. On one of those edge snaps, we saw Overshown create the monster TFL as ULM was hovering close to the Texas goal line.

Of course, the easy (and correct) thing to wonder is: how much of this new information is predictive of future success? How much is fool's gold? ULM is a bad football team, likely the worst Texas will face in 2022. Well, let's do our best to compare apples to apples here and look at Texas' 2021 opener versus another University of Louisiana System institution: Louisiana-Lafayette. In the 2021 opener against a similarly bad opponent, Texas totaled 10 total cumulative sacks, QB hits and QB pressures on the day. In the 2022 opener versus ULM, it total 16. That is a 60% increase in activity getting to the passer. 60 percent. That's extremely significant. If we throw in TFLs, just for the heck of it, we find that Texas increased its productivity behind the enemy line of scrimmage altogether in this one by 54% when comparing the data to that of the ULL game last season.

Yes, run-stuffs were also up against ULM, as were PBUs, as were blow-ups, as were interceptions and even defensive touchdowns. But the biggest takeaway -- the one thing we all knew needed the MOST fixing coming into 2022 (the pass rush) -- gave us the most encouraging signs moving forward.

Emerging freshman stars on defense are headlined by Jaylon Guilbeau

Jaylon Guilbeau started the game at the nickel corner as you can see in the game log, and it likely had a lot to do with Jahdae Barron missing time later in fall camp with injury, but we'll say this: Guilbeau will be a star for the Texas defense sooner than later, and, unless Jahdae Barron was completely hampered by injury in this game -- rendering him only about 50% of his usual self -- Guilbeau should be the starter immediately. Furthermore, if Barron was that badly injured, why would he be playing at a 36% clip in a game where the Texas staff didn't even need him? Why not sit him like they did Alfred Collins?
Heck, they were better off without Barron, anyway. Look at what Jaylon Guilbeau did on just 22 snaps: 1 tackle, 1 QB hit and 2 QB pressures. He was thrown at once and recorded a PBU/blow-up. Barron didn't register a single statistic in the Deep Dig although he was credited an assisted tackle by the cockamamie Texas Sports Information Department. Regardless, the difference between the two is stark in the numbers, and was just as stark by the eyeball test. Guilbeau is a true emerging star on the Texas defense.

Some other newcomers that did some nice things included, but not necessarily limited to, EDGE Ethan Burke who was in on four total tackles and also generated a run-stuff on only 19 snaps. EDGE/DE J'Mond Tapp got in on a tackle and also had a nice QB pressure on only 15 total defensive snaps. DE Jaray Bledsoe only played six snaps, but, incredibly on such a small sample, generated one QB pressure and one separate QB hit. CB Ishmael Ibraheem created a PBU on the only time he was targeted in the game, while DT Kristopher Ross had one assisted tackle and one separate half-TFL on only 5 total snaps.

Texas needs MUCH MORE out of Jaylan Ford, but what is the real alternative?

Texas needs much more out of Jaylan Ford. He did not record a statistic in the official record books, but in the annals of the Deep Dig, he'll go down as having whiffed on a team-leading 3 missed tackles. Completely unacceptable against an inferior opponent, especially when the defensive line was actually holding up its end of the bargain. Unfortunately, we're not even sure that this stout play upfront will always be the case through the 2022 season as the schedule gets tougher. If Ford was a net-negative for the defense against ULM, it's truly a bad sign. The tough part is, how do you replace him? His immediate backup, as you can see on the Game Log above, is Jett Bush, who was not versus ULM, nor has ever been, a picture of defensive productivity at the mike linebacker spot. Experimentation with Devin Richardson needs to be occurring behind the scenes as a possible fire-alarm glass-break, should Ford's struggles continue.

Overshown looked better, Coburn looked better, Sorrell looked like a beast, and I don't recall anyone standing around looking completely lost.

There were a couple of times when their quarterback got loose on what would've been 15+ yarders last year and he got corralled after 3 or 4.

We looked much, much better.

That said, it's just ULM.  The next couple of games will tell us a lot more, obviously.  But I feel like we're already trending the right direction.

Losing a guy that was shaving points is a plus as well.

I’d like to know a couple of things with the this data that someone with past experience could help me with. What’s the threshold for useful sample size within a game? Calling someone “sub-replacement level” for a sample of 15 snaps or fewer is questionable. Is there a consistency metric that will be added in the following weeks? I have a hard time believing Jamison will ever be above tier 3 for coverage ability when facing good teams who don’t give up big plays to him. There should also be separate metrics specifically for coverage, pass rush, tackling, etc, or some other proof that scoring staffs this way at least correlates to defensive success. Again, that’s not my area, but I’m interested to know what backs all of it up.

Here's the play. There was plenty of fail, but Brockermeyer is the worst offender. Richardson is blitzing... well, let's call it running aimlessly up field. The fact that Richardson bit so hard on the WR moving like there was going to be a screen suggests he at least thinks he's responsible for that receiver/area. Meanwhile, Brockermeyer just stands there for a second or two, plays patty-cake with the o-lineman, then misses the tackle.

I know exactly what Richardson is doing now.  We have an outside blitz on and he doesn't realize the nickel is taking it in this formation.

Brockermeyer is fine here.  Even if he were a better athlete, the RB just changes his angle slightly and still scores.

This play is just the result of some serious miscommunication. Chalk it up to the 3rd team defense looking like the 3rd team team defense. 

[Duane Moore 5773]

Other than that play I thought Richardson looked better than Ford, Bush, or Gbenda on Saturday. 

[JBJ 3830]

Here's some stuff we did (part 1 - standard nickel defense):

Left:  Our standard nickel defense and the majority of our snaps.  No frills Over.  We played it to run strength, not field.  The secondary did play field/boundary.  We stuck to 2-high for the majority of snaps with the nickel (Guilbeau) usually playing run support and whichever safety playing over any slot.  Boundary corner (Watts) would often show press with field corner (Jamison) showing zone regardless of what the coverage actually might be.

Right: I didn't count, but this had to be our most common blitz.  Simple slant to the boundary with a nickel blitz.  If the nickel was removed for coverage, the Mike took it.  This is a run blitz / standard down blitz, not necessarily meant to generate pass rush.  Below is from 2Q 8:01, they want to read Sorrell here, but he gets into a good position to play both ways.  There's no gain. (This is a different formation than diagramed above, same play)

Also, that's Vernon Broughton handling the outside double-team there.  Bravo.

 

This is a 3rd down stunt we did a couple times.  It's the only pass rush look that I saw from our standard set.  It doesn't work for us this particular play, but watch Ojomo make a guard look silly at 1Q 8:32.  I think he'll get his at some point.

 

I'll try to post some stuff we did in our base defense tomorrow.

[JBJ 3830]

Here's some stuff we did – part 2 (base package)

Now "base" doesn't mean most common or default anymore.  It just means 4 DBs.  Our default defense most of the season will be the above nickel.  We rolled this out against 12 personnel, and it didn't see the much use this game.

We played a 3-4 Tite with DMO replacing the nickel and DTD playing Will.  This lines up well with how we were using DMO in certain pass rush sets.  Dorbah rotated in for DMO.  The first time it appeared was Sweat, Murphy, Broughton up front, but the defensive line was already rotating at that point and I wouldn’t read into it.  If you read anything about anything last year you can probably stop here, but part 3 is immediately following.

 

It’s not always a 50 front (5 on the line), DMO played like a OLB when they set twins to the field:

 

This one is interesting for three reasons: (1) this is likely the starting lineup, (2) we use the boundary safety to take the slot so that the Jack (Ovie) can stay on the line - this is one of the rare times we aren't two-deep, (3) we slide the formation over to the right guard to handle the overloaded front, but do this by flipping over a DE (Sweat) to the guard and sliding the Nose (Coburn) into the A-gap, which I think kind of makes sense so they can play against the same OL they've seen all game.

I didn’t really see us do anything special as far as calling.  Sorry, this one is pretty lame.  I've already got Part 3 drawn up, which is also pretty simple but actually new this year and something we've been missing.

[JBJ 3830]

Here’s some stuff we did, part 3 - the pass rush, simple speed version

It was simple but effective.  We move DMO to field edge in place of Sorrell (Fox in PK language).  Put DTD at Will.  Let the edges play wide and rush hard.  Everything else plays the same as the nickel.  And that’s basically it.  We tended to be in Man 2 for this, which is also something new and not very B12-like.

 

We did show this stunt once or twice, which involves the DT (Ojomo) washing out the OL for the NT (Coburn) to get free.  The example drawn is at 1Q 13:32.

These are examples of the fiercely debated Stack defense.  Which is the other 3rd down package.  Theres a lot that we did and could do in it.  I'll go over in Part 4.

ULM did go back to the RB later in the game.  I believe against Richardson who caught the RB just before the sticks.  LBs in man coverage are always gonna be a concern.  The risk/reward of it is that if we blitz that side and play zone there's not enough blockers and no open RB.  Which is basically what happens in clip 3 - minus the need to blitz.

Look, I've been on the "PK didn't suddenly forget how to coach" train for twelve months, but let's not go crazy yet. Look at who is calling plays for Bama.

We'll have tougher tests in Big XII play.

Enjoy what? We lost.

Defense thread, our defense played lights out. I'm going to enjoy their performance all day.

The prevent defense. Are you really thinking Watts blitzing off the corner was prevent defense?

What about every fucking play up to that point?

Love what I saw but we’ll see if we look any good when Big 12s throw it 70 times.

We won't play another QB this year that is even close to as good as Bryce Young.

To the fact when you started the day you didn't think our defense had a chance but they played great and we almost won. It's not bullshit they played hard and we almost won. If winning is all that matters you should reevaluate where Texas football has been and direction we are heading. Enjoy the ride.

Just because people complete passes, doesn’t mean it was prevent. They ran that blitz twice on the last drive

The defense did incredibly well today. Coaches put them in a position to win and they competed

The heisman qb completing passes doesn’t mean we were only in prevent. There was also pressure. Just stupid all around.

What about the play up until THAT point? Like, the other 95% of the game. The defense was coached well and played well. Get the fuck over it. This game was lost on inability to press with an injured backup at QB.

Those short side CB blitzes are a Gary Patterson trademark.  GP's fingerprints were all over this game.  I hope that continues.

And, yeah, it's probably predictable and unfair to give GP the credit instead of PK, but I nonetheless absolutely believe that's the case.  We have seen these things from TCU for the last 20 years and saw none of it from PK last year.

There were a lot of blitzes. There were some classic PK blitzes. I will give Patterson more credit for getting the secondary and front 7 together. I think he has done his job in coaching the coaches

Yes. And I was referring to the last drive dumbshit. 90 seconds left. Anyone with a brain knew short plays were coming. We do not press and let their are receivers get downfield without interruption. Just preventing the big play. Hence…prevent fucking defense.
