Tim Leonard: SU Led in Blitzing Last Week

Dawg, I must suck. I remember like… one blitz.

 

[qdawgg]

Maybe every blitz ran into an OL or RB.

 

[orangemass]

Not effective

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Does blitz not mean what I think it means?

Where is this data coming from?

I do remember us getting some hits on Aguilar, which I assume came from some blitzing pressure, so we blitzed more than zero times, but that volume seems... off.

 

[PhatOrange]

Cap

 

[wiseman3]

Yeah, that checks out. We blitzed a ton and got zero pressure. Lovely

PFF.

I’ve been pretty vocal on my disdain for that site previously. Some people here love it. We don’t need to rehash that.

For stats—rush 4 or less, not a blitz. Rush 5 or more, counts as a blitz.

I want to go back and look at film. But at least in my head to get that feels like they must be counting rpo’s where the Tennessee line moved forward and our linebackers collapsed on the line instead of dropping back. Something like that, there were a bunch of RPO/PA calls. If we had that many legit blitzes called then I’d question if our defense playbook sucks.

whatever the scheme net result was basically zero pressure.

Early in the game, we used the LBs on a bunch of inside stunts.

 

[UnknownOrange]

encouraged that we blitzed more than ever before
discouraged that it resulted in minimal pressure… but it was Tennessee.

 

[upperdeck]

I think they counted guys get sucked up into play action as blitziing,

 

[DilemaCuse]

Not good, Bob. Not good. I hope Tenny has Joe Moore level oline

 

[Tony DeFranco]

I believe this like I believe in the Easter Bunny

 

[pokercuse08]

There's just no way. I watched that game and I know football and there's no way Cuse sent 5+ on more than a couple of plays. Whoever graded that game for PFF doesn't know how to determine a blitz.

 

[shu 49]

There is a really big need for someone to blitz like Wax then or we need better stunts. I really cant believe this. Damn we gotta get better.

 

[Moontan]

Could it be AI?

 

[DPCuse]

I’m even more depressed knowing this. Zero pressure all game.

 

[Idiocuse22&]

Tennessee's O coaches outcoached our Def coaches. On more plays than not there Off players outplayed our Def players...at least in the 1st half.
Its ok, they have some really good coaches and really good players.
It is ok because we do to. It was more their day than ours, it happens.
Our D does not suck. Our DC does not need to go. We have a scheme and it is fine.
We need leadership within the players to step up and if that happens, we are good.

Id bet we see that today.
