Seems like we dont blitz alot?
Or am I missing them?
Would like some CB blitz’s or something a little more “creative”? We do it sometimes but not alot. Maybe keeping the good stuff for the big games???
Since Gentry went down the TOs have really slowed down.
More Korey Foreman??? 😂
Our run defense seems to be improving.
Since the togal collapse of the defense coincides with Gentry's injury in the 2d half of the Utah game, maybe he should get some consideration at the team's MVP.
Grinch is doing a lot of stuff. The Dline shifts, dropping Tuli and Figueroa into coverage ( not sure that even makes sense), corner blitzes, 2 safety high and dime coverage but nothing seems to work on a consistent basis. 9 games into the season, the identity of this defense is established. Bend but don’t break, gives up a lot of yards and big plays but manages to hold on in the red zone at times. That onside kick was unfortunate. 9-1 and ranked in the top 10 heading into the Rivalry games is a nice spot. Usually, it seems to me, I haven’t looked it up, we split the rivalry games. Pete swept them a lot but other than that we split them. We need DTR to make mistakes , sell out against the run and pray. Notre Dame has problems at QB. We will score on them. Riley has no problems bringing top offensive talent, they are lining up to play for him. But it’s obvious we need front 7 help.
No quality depth at lb. Nothing you can do until the portal opens or signing day. Good news, LA should have plenty of talent to offer, unlike on the lines.
DL, I like the talent and attitude, so this is a scheme and technique issue to get more pressure on the he qb and trying to block quick passes at the line.
DB's are very athletic and aggressive, but the aren't getting their heads turned or reacting to the ball very well. Frankly they have regressed here, so that is on the coaching.
Lastly not tackling enough in practice. That is obvious.
