With a program like Syracuse, where you don’t get the top recruits and biggest and fastest guys on D, you have to run an aggressive, blitzing defense like Shafer and Tony White used to run. Yes you’ll be burned at times, but you have to apply pressure on the opposition. In the end, if you scheme well, you’ll be much better off than the passive crap we’re seeing with ERob’s scheme. At TA&M, his teams had the athletes to play great D. Here we have to rely more on a scheming, aggressive D, with lots of surprises, to keep the other team off balance. Eventually we might have the athletes to compete but not now.
He's never been a DC prior to his hire here which makes no sense. Need someone who has experience and is good at it.
 
Not sure why we stopped running Willis. He’s been good. Averaging 5 yards a carry. Angeli has been bad. Need to find a way to get into Cook’s hands. Villari has been very good. Just put the ball in Willis, Cook’s, Gill’s and Villari’s hands on offense. And they will be fine.

Angeli is holding the ball too long. Throw some screens to Cook and Gill. Some slants across the middle. Run some RPOs to the outside then after a few run Willis down the middle. Need to spread the defense out. Defensively we are a mess. It’s pretty clear Erob is a problem and fixed nothing this off-season. Even scarier that Fran is a defensive coach and the defense has been such a mess.
Watch the WR routes. Tragically bad
 
Having his son as the 2nd running back means you don't have any back who is a threat to take it to the house.
We did alright last year as an offense without him because of his injury. We really need someone who is a threat to break a long run as our backup back.
We need the best player available as a backup.
 
Nobody cares how long you’ve been a member of this site lol.. like good for u buddy you’ve been on here for awhile. I’ve been lurking on this site for YEARS, and know which members are negative and which actually have something to contribute,

So because you’ve been lurking you are entitled to be a combative tool all the time? That is some great logic.
