The amount of zone and coverage we play and how seldom we blitz. Other than forcing turnovers it hasn't been too effective.

Kai Nacua is not fast.

Why thumbs down to this? It's a fact, not diminishing Kai at all, but he is slow

Right? If you don't believe me, rewatch that block field goal.

I thought for sure that play was on DVR in slow-mo somehow. Sadly it was live

every time we've blitzed it's been an easy read for the QB and a completion

We are yet to have personnel for 4-3...

We ran tons of 3-4 vs BSU. Langi mostly played OLB

Yes, we did. So...7% of the season?

We need a nickel package with an extra db

I have to imagine this is what KS is trying most to resolve with recruiting.

Fred Warner has been pretty good in coverage...

The amount of blitzing in a 3-4 vs. a 4-3 is quite different, generally.

I wouldn't say overachieved, but I do think he'll improve.

I honestly felt that the D would look like the Toledo game every week.

They weren't top 10, but they were top 50 before that game.

AFcoug7

10/28/16 9:53am

yes, and I thought our offense would have to look like our offense in the Toledo

I don't consider bringing one LBer in a 3-4 a "blitz"

I've been disappointed in the safety play.

That's super obvious when the second team is in...

Hanneman is so up and down...

We get no pressure when we do blitz.

I think the importance of turnovers has been understated with this defense.
