The defensive scheme is garbage.

[Palatine]

How many times do we see first contact on a running back 5 or 9-yards downfield?

How many bubble screens go 10-yards before the first Husky lays a hand on the receiver?

And we didn't stop ECU until they started running up the middle on first and second down to run the clock. 596 yards on the defense, five hundred and ninety six. If ECU kept their foot on the gas pedal, they might have beaten the 626 we gave up to UVA.

Opposing offenses now average 557 yards a game. Yuck.

 

[JMick]

we just need to tackle better, shed blocks better on the perimeter and keep Bell on the bench.

 

[Stainmaster]

Looking forward to 9 more identical threads between now and December.

 

[uconndogs]

Yup. Crocker will have a little more time to correct this mess, but many more games like this and he may not make it to the end of the season.

Really surprised Edsall let the defensive side of the ball get away from him.

 

[ktuck911]

Question is how do we get the back end of our D to tackle better????

SMU is gonna put up a 70 spot on us with no problem next week. I hate to admit it, but right now, looks like a reality. We suck back there. Horrible.
Straight up swiss chees on 3rd down too

#27 was like 50 yds away from the nearest ECU player all day. Wish I was exaggerating.

Yeah its the scheme. That's why people are slow and miss tackles.

 

[sportsart]

Disco Bob left our defensive cupboard bare.

 

[polycom]

wrong scheme is great actually. We can't shed blocks...tackle..hold gaps...or really doing anything. Our players are so bad its incredible. Who was Bob recruiting...he was so useless.

RKG's.

Every player had to be about 6'5" 250 and slow.

 

[rich1122]

Hard to recruit DE's and DT's.

 

[TheDoggPound]

No, Jamar Summers and Tre Bell are garbage.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

No, Jamar Summers and Tre Bell are garbage.

Are you the guy who was sitting behind me in 203 harassing Summers all game?

 

[CTMike]

It’s not the scheme it’s our lack of pieces to execute it effectively. Any scheme looks bad when you can’t execute it properly. But keep that “open mind” that you claimed last week.

 

[cheech63]

No, Jamar Summers and Tre Bell are garbage.

Does anybody on this coaching staff teach these to idiots how to turn and look for the ball when their in the end zone chasing their guy. Both balls could have been batted down.

Guarantee he's taking control of the situation. Crocker is clueless. It's now been proven over 3 games with the worst D stats in college football.

I was sitting below you, section 102.

You would.

You look at a regression of 90+ spots on the defense ranks and think scheme has nothing to do with it. We suddenly have the 128th defensive personnel in football? Why? Why are they so much worse than last year?

I like to keep an open mind. But I also keep my eyes open. Watch the game. Watch the defense.

 

[uconnbill]

The defensive play calling has to improve and playing ten yards off the wide receivers all the time drives me nuts. They need to tighten it up period and that falls on the players and Crocker IMHO

almost half of the defensive players have played in 3 college games or less

No need for calling them idiots. Or garbage like another said.
