The scheme has to adjust to what the opponent is doing.
Just how would you adjust to what BC was doing? Our guys were lining up and getting pushed around and run over. Bigger guys running through smaller guys. Sometimes football is brutally simple. And you can’t fix it by having the players “line up better”.
BC ran the same plays. Run blitzes can stop the running game in obvious run downs.
Eh, maybe. But every week we see physically outmatches teams hang with, if not upset, more talented teams. BC is not Nebraska of the 80s. I mean they lost to Kansas. There have to be ways a smart coach can cook up a way to at least slow that run game down.
Everyone in the NFL has size strength and speed. Switch rosters and bc didn't push us around. In college scheme matters but there are some limits, it doesn't overcome pitiful strength and speed
I think if you give Dino talent he can ulitize it.
Which is why I disagree with those who do not believe there will be any movement on the staff. I think Wildhack will have a very candid discussion with Dino officially after the season and Dino isn't dumb, he knows it. That said I have no problem with Dino using coach speak until the end of the season before making any declarative statements beyond "it's on him". He is close to his staff, he won't out them right now. Given his closeness to them though I would expect if change does happen it will happen lightening fast at seasons end so anyone departing has a chance to land another gig. It also may assist depending on the hire in reeling in a few recruits.
You are correct. Not sure this staff especially on offense meshes the play calling with the individual(s) who is/are involved in the play. Asking a 5'8" 170 pound kid to block on a screen for another 5'8" 170 pound kid is just plain stupid. Especially when the route has you right on the sideline and all the pursuit is coming from the inside. There is no rhyme or reasoning to Lynch's play calling. On defense, we would need about two days to cover that mess. In short, it's time for a change at OC and DC. Otherwise, this program has cratered.
Yes but your telling me Maryland is 43 points more talented?
That's one game. You can't look at this in a vacuum. Have to look at the big picture
It’s more than one game. Is BC all those points more talented?
Yes. That and the leadership lost at those positions.
How do we know he is owning this? Someone saying he owns this doesn't always translate. Actions speak louder than words and if the only staff changes are on D, I am questioning Dino's ownership.
Foster has been doing that for three years and never loses any playing time. His mistakes in those three years have led to some of the longest chunk yard play gains against Syracuse Football in their history. Where has Devon Clarke been?????? It's pretty clear that this defensive staff is not keen on Cam Jonas who is a RF and had offers from some real blue bloods, but has never seen the field. Pretty sure he and some others will enter the transfer portal and further delete Syracuse's already thin depth. That is probably the next shoe to fall. How many young men, dissatisfied by their lack of playing time bail out on this program. That is another potential big blow for 2019-2020 and beyond. Hope this staff and any new additions to it can right this ship or we all should just replace the Syracuse Fight Song with "Nearer My God to Thee"
