Defense/Crocker

[FDNY99]

if there are any of you on here that want to back Crocker and his insistence of the 3-3-5 after tonight then you must not go to games and sit here watching his nonsense! Send him back to Philly with his scheme!

Changes need to be made. Not debatable.

I wrote elsewhere that the defensive problems are the result of having the wrong players for the scheme. I had hoped that UConn would modify the defense this year, but it seems like they are all in.

Week after week I sit here in my seat..the Offense FINALLY can put points in the board after miserable season after miserable season and this guy Crocker runs his BS 3-3-5 scheme with kids who can’t play it. That to me screams a guy who isn’t a coach..just a 1 Trick pony guy who’s pony is all smoke and mirrors!

News flash: defense would be just as bad under any other scheme...

It's like some players are zone, some in man, and they're all confused. Our edges and flats are wide open every play. Can't defend deep. Can't stop the run. There is literally nothing we are respectful at on D.

Really? I would expect you would realize what the DC is up against.

Did you expect magic?

Disagree. We lost a ton in the defensive backfield from last season. We were thin at DB and we changed to a defense with 5 DBs. And, We do not have the DEs for a 3-3-5. We did not have the players to run the defense.

I expect a guy to use a scheme to put the kids he has in the best position to succeed. Shoehorning kids into a defense they aren’t talented enough to play is BS..and now what little fans are left are streaming to the exits.

 

[FDNY99]

And they covered..over/Under was 75....56 pts and 554 yds of total offense...unacceptable!!!

In 3 quarters!

Lol. There's a long way to go. No need to make adjustsments until they get 70.

I am actually. Been there for 2/3 home games so far.

He was hired to implement his defense. Why do people not get this?

Yes, but you can make modifications and have some schemes that are more traditional. The only changes that I have seen have been with the players.

I get 56 pts/589 yds of total offense in just over 3 qtrs...oops 599 yds..sorry 613

 

[FDNY99]

@sportsart make that 63 pts and 639 yds of total offense

My God, get used to it. It's a cluster frick that has minimal talent on defense.

Blame Diaco. Period.

Yes if Diaco was the DC cut those numbers in half.

 

[Jimdish255]

It's not good and with these players it hasn't shown any signs of working. We'll set some terrible D records at this pace.

 

[huskyblooz]

Memphis coach decides not to run it up. Puts in the backup QB, and runs the ball right down our throats. ... We can't tackle

Not talking about Diaco..BUT his D wasn’t this bad...talking about a DC putting his talent in best position to win

 

[noeynox]

Molotov cocktail of ugliness?
