here's to hoping Playmaker

many games last year where it wasn't working in the first half and I couldn't see any adjustments in the second half.

After all the whining about dropping 8 on D

Maybe cause the defense doesn't drop 8 on 70% of snaps this year?

ldssdl

9/28/20 9:04am

I bet 70%+ is accurate for the Troy game.

I would be surprised if that were true.

ldssdl

9/28/20 9:25am

Most definitely not true. It happened from time to time

I thought he did drop 7-8 a lot, but it worked well when front 3-4 got pressure

Exactly. They have overall better talent and they have done a good job coaching

It's pretty obvious that Tuiaki has started reading the board to help game plan.

Ojiisan

Yeah. I'm sure Nick Saban follows Alabama's board to help with strategy as well.

I wouldn't be surprised if he has staff checking on here to be honest. Have you

The defense has been totally different this year. They are showing multiple

Right. It’s almost like there is someone else involved in running the D!

It's been different, but I did see him drop 8 on 3rd and 5

They dropped 8 a lot during Troy game. Defense dominated against Troy and Navy.

Thing about Tuiaki the haters don't want to admit.... He's had pretty good

Tuiaki has run defenses that look good in some lights but kill the team in

His defenses have gotten worse every year.

Last year was the worst performance in run D compared to past 4 years.

Lol. You mean when the defense threw 4 interceptions and lost 16-10.

Blueto

9/28/20 2:31pm

LOL that's your defense to an unconscionable loss?

shammy

9/28/20 5:35pm

If you're blaming that loss on Tuiaki then you clearly don't know what you're

Blueto

9/28/20 5:42pm

If you think he's been outstanding, you have no clue about football. Adios.

shammy

9/28/20 5:48pm

I think there is a lot of evidence to back the negative sentiment here

Beggar

Like you said, in the past the real issue was adjustments and variation. There

It's probably more about talent. It has taken time but the overall talent level

Navy and Troy are not equal to original schedule. We see this every year

Sorry, apparently CB still has people smarter than the coaches (in their minds).

From the person sitting at home watching the games.

Doesn’t address the point at all

Withholding judgement. Talk to me in December.

Three man rush generally doesn’t work

BYU '80

9/28/20 10:12am

I still think any good team will shred us when we rush 3.

Thundergun Express

They absolutely will. They did a good job sending extra guys last game. There

Its not about dropping 8. Its about rushing 3 every time, playing your LB too

cougaman

Rushing 3 works great when your nose guard counts as 2.5 people 🙂

The difference is we are getting penetration with 3 DLs this year
