rdwoodpecker Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 If we supposedly did not know how to tackle prior to his arrival, what has he done to correct it? How many times have we seen our corners and safeties just try to knock bigger receivers down without wrapping them up? Any ball caught in our secondary can go all the way with the style of tackling we use. Josh Kalu may be the best/worst example of this. I never see him wrap anyone up. We seem to lack so many of the obvious elements to a good defense. Hate to see the guy gone in 1 year. You can say lack of talent when he arrived but even lesser talent can learn to wrap people up when their is contact. Quote Link to comment
BoNeyard Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 It's going to take him 2-3 years to get his scheme into place and teach these techniques, but as of now they are where he expected them to be and they will be the best defense in the country when everything is in place. 1 Quote Link to comment

I just remember how this little dude was squaring up running backs and laying the wood. He missed a lot of tackles, but he was bringing it. There is no question he has regressed like so many others on this team. None of them wrap up. Edited November 19, 2017 by gobiggergoredder 1 Quote Link to comment

Reed act like the arms aren't allowed for defense. As the year went on the other players seemed to copy his lead. Maybe that is why Diaco calls them defenders and not defense. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 This is horrifying, but symptomatic to why we lost eight games this year. 1 Quote Link to comment

Scarlet Overkill Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 And, if i am to believe comments S&B made awhile back, Diaco was touted by Eichorst as the very best coach (any sport) we had on campus. Quote Link to comment

Yes, it’s true . No other coach has the ability to see or identify the strain. And once you see it, you’ll never see the same again. 3 Quote Link to comment

Eichorst was planning on having Diaco take over for Riley after Mike coached a few more years. Quote Link to comment
