ColoradoHusk Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I listened to a bit of The Bottom Line radio show (Severe and Ganz) and Ganz said that Banker's D is basically Cosgrove's D. The schematics are exactly the same. If Cosgrove's D was out of date 8 years ago then what does that make Banker's D? I know the concept is to make the offense one dimensional, but if it's so easy to pass against, then why would the offense do anything but line up in shotgun and run play action passes all day? 1 Quote Link to comment
admo Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Scheme or not, Cosgrove's defense was soft and they cried to the media and to each other. And they couldn't tackle. 2 Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Bankers D is also Narduzzis D. You know. Ghe one we all drool over. And Cosgroves D wasnt half this bad his first 4 games. The defense carried the team to their wins that first year. 1 Quote Link to comment

arkiehusker Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 It don't matter whose D it is. It's is horrible on pass defense. Quote Link to comment
In the Deed the Glory Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I will have to go back and watch what we ran, but I am not sure that is comoletely accurate. Quote Link to comment
Husker NoNo Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 If we had DBs who could "play on an island," (something they were rarely asked to do under Bo), I firmly believe our outlook and production would be better. I want to win as much as anyone else, but patience friends. Patience. 2 Quote Link to comment

Yeah, but don't you think Joe knows what he is seeing when he sees the defense? He only practiced against it for 4 years. Joe knew today's defense as soon as they lined up. Banker needs to change something, and do it quick. 2 Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 If an offense knows that is can complete a big pass nearly every play, that's what they are going to call. Eventually they won't need to worry about running the ball. Quote Link to comment
Milwausker Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Bankers D is also Narduzzis D. You know. Ghe one we all drool over. And Cosgroves D wasnt half this bad his first 4 games. The defense carried the team to their wins that first year. Where is the disconnect coming from Narduzzi's results and ours? Is it just a talent issue or is there something we are doing differently than what Narduzzi coaches at a fundamental level? Asking in general as I am not well versed in the X and O strategy of a defense. If it is not just talent what things need to be tweaked so we can generate more pressure and start defending the pass at least moderately well? Quote Link to comment
alwayshusking Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I think there is some truth to it if he can't adjust. Have to have more answers in the secondary. Too simple, can't give up inside routes in obvious passing situations. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Bankers D is also Narduzzis D. We'd be running this defense if Narduzzi was hired instead of Riley/Banker. Maybe Narduzzi could teach it better than Banker, maybe Narduzzi's scheme struggles with these players. Regardless, this is the group of players we have. It's up to the coaches to figure out how to make it work with these guys. No way it's going to be acceptable by Husker Fans to give up 300 yards passing over and over and over. 3 Quote Link to comment

Banker needs to change something, and do it quick. I'm not denying what he said. He also said that Rileys offense in very similar to Callahans. I just remember what he said about Josh Freeman, and how that all proved to be untrue. Quote Link to comment
Husker67 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Geez, we bit%%ed and moaned about giving up 408 on the ground so we fixed that, what do we want from these guys? Really?!?!? BTW, just kidding, and having some fun with it Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I think some perspective is needed anyway. I think the whole "simpler" thing was gonna make it better. What folks fail to realize, and if they only knew the ins and outs of it, theyd know that at this point the defense has gone through a much larger overhaul in terms of dcheme than the offense. So many times the offense is being put into comfortable playcalls. The defense is playing a night and day different scheme with completely opposite ideals. Stop the run. No over coverage. Under zone instead of matchup freein the backers to focus on the run and qb run game. Two massive fails this far have been intermediate coverage (15-25 yards) and disruptive penetration from the dline. Two things that HAVE to be present for a quarters system to work. It just seems that a lot of guys are struggling with the change and falling back to habits of the old scheme. I see receivers getting passed off when the coverage should remain. Te chnique on deep balls as if theyre assuming help over top. 5 Quote Link to comment
