Vanilla Spring Game Defense

[Cdog923]

Perhaps the first mistake people are making is assuming Disco Bob is mentally stable.

I kinda got the same impression listening to Damon Benning talk about him this morning.

I don't mind it, but I also don't think it is vital we didn't show it. Diaco has been at least a DC since 2009. It isn't like he is going to run anything crazy different than he has for the past 8 years

A bit unfair to run a blitz-heavy defense while telling your gunners they can't touch the quarterback.

Forget it, Jake. It's Spring Ball.

I was afraid people wouldn't overreact enough to the giant dog-and-pony show that the Spring Game has become.

Luckily that fear was unfounded.

Vanilla? Heck that just looked like Coz'and Banker's best stuff!

Speaking of paranoid football coaches, be glad Riley and Co didn't go Petrino on the game and not allow any video or we would be dissecting the game like this:

That looks a lot like the 70's Ali-Frazier match.

We'll without reading through it all (and I will by weekend) I am glad it was vanilla. It was just a practice with fans around that crave to see the football team play 24x7.

But if I had to guess, the vanilla was to help the QBs, the OL, the health of the team, the confidence overall, and the possibility of a flying around defense that can cause chaos without knowing what they're doing a portion of the plays 😊

Hotel room guys....get one, and get this tension outta your system. You know who I mean.

Kind of sounds like Diaco has always been pretty secretive. Sounds like he doesn't like his assistants giving interviews because they might say to much. Shut off assistant interviews at Notre Dame in 2010 because of that.
