Cdog923 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Chinander and the rest of the defensive staff all deserve raises for the job they did this year. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
NebraskaHarry Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Mmmm, he and his staff certainly did better this year, buuuuut that run defense against wisconsin and iowa sucked. I'm still not sold on Chinander like many on here. Our LBs without Domann looked like they were swimming. The lack of pressure our defende gets on QBs is also concerning to me. 4 Quote Link to comment
gossamorharpy Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Right. Because a defense that ranked towards the middle in the country in most defensive stat categories and around 75th-80th in 3rd down efficiency just screams elite. Just because our offense was consistently inept doesn’t make the defense world beaters for playing better. Money doesn’t grow on trees and they’re already paid pretty well. Give me a defense that actually forces some turnovers and plays with aggression and you can talk pay raises 3 1 Quote Link to comment

The staff did do a good job this year but I believe their success had as much to do with a few special players as it did with the coaching. I'm not sure I would toss around raises everywhere for a 54th total defensive rating. 1 Quote Link to comment

No sure how you separate the coaching from those individual players. IMO they were better than 54th and got put in bad positions a lot, but in any case Chins will have to earn his money next year. The run D got a lot worse when Daniels and Williams were out, and while I like the corner depth losing CTB will be tough. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

This defense was middle of the pack statistics wise. But, as so often stats don't tell the whole story. How often this year did this defense keep teams in the top 15 below their season average? Yes, I would love a great pass rush and more turnovers. But, they did pretty dang well this year. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I thought about compiling how our defense compared to Iowa's when each team played OSU, Michigan and MSU.....but...... 2 Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Maybe instead of raises we could pull an Iowa and just hang a banner, “Best defense we’ve seen around here in a few years, only 54th ranked but still much better than the offense. Good job guys!” and they could put a few emojis on there to really make it impressive for potential recruits. 1 Quote Link to comment
Jason Sitoke Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Rank in the top 90 in TOs and sacks, and we'll talk. 1 Quote Link to comment

All I've asked Santa for this year is a god damn pass rusher. We fix the sack/qb pressure equation the TOs are bound to follow closely behind Quote Link to comment

This is one of my biggest gripes with this defense. Lack of turnovers. We don't cause many fumbles because we don't put hats on the ball. I think Miles Farmer has more INT's in his limited action in two season than Dismuke has his entire career. Safeties should be turnover machines. Did our corners have any ints this year??
