This is at all levels of the defense. So, is that on the position coach’s? Or the coordinator? assuming all the above. But, I’m dumbfounded as to why it’s so bad this year. That's me for the entire Frost experiment. How do we play the schedule last year and go 0-7 (IIRC) in 1 score games. Against OU, OSU, Michigan etc in that slate. I truly can not point to one specific thing and say "fix this" and we win. Still struggle on OL, run fits, coverage, PA defense...And it goes on and on...That's what is making it so hard IMHO, what do you fix? And how do you fix it. 1 Quote Link to comment

Carl Pelini was the D-line coach and DC. So was Papuchis. I think most places have this arrangement. Carl was the d-line coach but he was focused on the booster wives. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

No. He’s the salaried DC. But I’m liking the way MJ is moving chess pieces around. I’m very much looking forward to Saturday. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I wonder if we hit the portal hard, brought in these new guys that replaced some pretty fine athletes that had been around awhile, and then spent zero time acclimating them to the team. This isn’t the pro’s-can’t expect to plug and play new guys every year without an introductory period. Hard for both the new guys and the existing guys 1 Quote Link to comment

There have been numerous busted coverages and missed tackles at the position. But, it’s a very interesting move for other reasons. Chins has zero experience coaching the position, & 2 of the top 3 S’s are converted CB’s. Busch has considerable experience with safeties, seems more qualified to help us out there. I'd rather have Chin focus on how we're getting exploited and get to work on fixing it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

MyBloodIsRed16 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I like how he said he cut off the music in practice. I always thought that was weird. I get maybe to simulate game experience but when you see clips of guys dancing around and singing along in practice it means they aren't paying attention. Kids these days have short enough attention spans you don't need to give them any more reason not to pay attention. Especially when there have been so many times when there have been detail oriented mistakes with this team. Also the getting in and out of drills. From some of the clips I've seen over the years they break then jog to whatever they are doing next. From Hs to college it was always a dead sprint to your next drill. Will any of this actually help? who knows, but I like it. 3 2 Quote Link to comment

Unless we get better players on the DL and at LB, I am not sure how much a scheme change will help. 2 Quote Link to comment
