DC Elijah Robinson

[djorange1989]

He has never been a DC before. And it shows. Talent upgrade is badly needed too

 

[Jake]

you think we have no coaches at all who know how to stop the run?

We dont have the bodies.

Wax is not an NFL LB, he is a tweener. Same with Barron

the only guy on D that attacks is Diggs

I don’t disagree that we’re thinned out. All the more reason for the defense to stack the box and risk the deep ball against QBs who didn’t show much throwing ball.

We sat back like we were the 86 Bears.

I think Wildhack will demand an experienced coach to help him out at the very least.

This was all entirely predictable and anyone can demand it now.

Why is it co-DC Robert Wright’s name doesn’t come up in these discussions?

He doesn’t seem to receive any criticism.

If you have coco ordinators, you don't have any

I would love to know the record of teams with co's

We talk about taking lumps while these guys learn on the job, but is ERob’s recruiting reputation largely built up from his resume at A&M? Do we know this guy can actually bring in higher end talent?

Honestly I forgot he even existed.

BC did the same thing to us a few years ago, I think it was Brian ward ??

Didnt Texas win the national title in 2005 with co-defensive coordinators? #toosoon #snowballcaughtfire

Similar defensive scheme too - “Tampa 2”

 

[CuseBlood44]

sucks at his job but Fran isn’t firing his buddy

Did people really not expect something like this? We didn't land any Warren Sapps in the portal, so physical teams are going to Bully us and have all year. We were still in it in the end despite that. If not for that BS call on the insides that I've never seen called before, we have a chance in the end.

I like how Rhodes put a media person that thinks they're an analyst in their place.

 

[IthacaBarrel]

Just a reminder that BC only beat Western Kentucky by 1 and got destroyed by Va Tech. Horrific loss

We weren’t favored to win.

 

[orangeinohio]

Feels like it’s more like 3-1-7

To say this isn't a coordinator issue I think is bogus.
If you don't have bodies to go toe to toe, then you do run stunts.
BC put pressure on Mccord with twists/blitz packages.
They had 13 team sacks when the game started..They knew what our "O" was going to do.
WE KNEW WHAT BC was going to do..and they jammed it down our throats..tackle to tackle over
300 yards on the ground. We got pounded..just like Stanford.

I don't think that would've helped. Stunts leave gaps they still could've expoited. That's less of an issue when pass rushing a pocket style QB, and McCord still made them pay on the ground a number of times, moreso than against other teams that have applied pressure this year. We got pushed around, which is what has happened pretty much all year. We need to get more physical in the off season.

 

[MikeSU02]

I’m fine with saying we don’t have the people for the scheme and our depth would basically make any D scheme mediocre or bad.

All good. We need runway to get our guys.

But whose fault is it when Duce and Lewis don’t take the right angles and also have issues tackling?

Whose fault is it that Diggs takes himself out of plays more than he’s in them? There was a play where he shot upfield that he would have been too deep on a drop back and it *was a run*.

We had DLs getting turned around so their backs were to the RBs as they were coming through the hole!

I’m all for giving Fran and ERob time to get better defenders. But don’t tell me that the other stuff can’t be coached up at the least.

 

[HRE Otto IV]

Our Ss stink so playing 3 of them makes no sense against a passing team. Even more so vs a running team. We have a ton of bodies at LB. If you are going to change your system go 3-4 not 3-2. And in a game like this you have 8 in the box not 5 or 6.

DL injuries is an excuse for giving up 200 yards rushing. That extra 100 they had is on the coaches.
