So coaches have no responsibility in telling safeties where to line up on plays

Why were they sitting so far back on every play…it’s because that’s what the coaches want them to do. It doesn’t take a genius to tell the safeties to move up before halftime, if that is the problem.

Having watched all defensive snaps, this is mostly on the safeties

We’ll need better Safety play in the Big 12

Yes - that is NOT a part of the coaches’ job. I don’t understand your confusion

Really, so who determines where safeties line up on their designed plays?

Alfrey wasn't reading his keys. Most coverages a safety doesn't move into his

I have felt like some of our best players are safeties

Why is Alfrey playing S? Was the a LB?

pegushin

Alfrey has never played LB.

Alfrey had a solid game. Recovered fumble, several good tackles, etc.

I agree with you, but due to limited field time I did not include him.

Zoobieman

10/1/22 7:54am

He gives awesome effort. Just really unpolished right now

10/2/22 7:35pm

No mention of Hanneman? He was the biggest liability. Thought Alfrey played

Lol. Talfrey had 10 tackles. So did Harper.

Safety leading the team in tackles is not usually a good thing

Agreed on your first sentence. In fact if you look down about 2 posts you will

LOL. Go watch the film and see how slowly he reacts several times

10/2/22 7:29pm

Reacted quick enough to make 10 tackles. Everyone else be be even slower to

That's great. Where did he make them? LOS? Nope, way down field

ratherberoping

10/3/22 9:05am

I prefer our secondary to make tackles way down the field and prevent scores

boctabulous

10/3/22 9:10am

That's because you don't know very much about football

ratherberoping

10/3/22 9:14am

Im sorry your football IQ is so low. I will pray for you

boctabulous

One of us played D-1 football, as a safety, and one of us didn't

I went and watched all the film. Im right you’re wrong.

10/4/22 2:07pm

That is key indicator #1. If you safeties are coming up and making tackles in the run game, then you DL and LBs aren't

TheLoneCougar

10/1/22 8:25am

Yep. The fact that alfrey and harper both had double digit tackles against a

boctabulous

10/1/22 8:32am

Yes and no. In many instances if your safety can close quick enough he can eat a

All things being equal, you'd rather your DL or LBs are making all the tackles in the run game.

Definitely

The problem is BYU is outnumbered in box on spread formations.

You say DEs need to not get sealed…Lots of the time BYU plays the spill. Which means the DE has the inside gap, and

Just want to check myself, on the Nickel formation with 4 Dline, the DE seals

Zoobieman

In 3-4 the DE are basically Tackles and have to be two gappers
