Im sure Thad Randle is a nice guy

[Red_Alert]

Now listen here son, umm, uhh, you know, you're lined up in a two gap. umm uhh , but you're gonna play like it's a one gap you know? So the other team's gonna think we're umm, uh, you know we're playing two gap (chuckle), but you know, umm uh we're not cause you, your uh only going to play that one gap and um, uh you need to adjust you know? Now go execute.

 

[blkflagmafia]

Can you imagine him trying to explain this to the kids in the film room?

These players are lost.

It may be easy to Bo, but he's not the one out there sweating and attempting to fight off blockers trying to "execute" it. It's insanity.

Meanwhile recruits look at the stats DL wise and they shake their heads

Outside of 09 the DL has been a non factor

Suh saved bo 08/09
David saved him in 10-11

Been down hill since

you need to squeeze "at the end of the day" in there somehwere. Damn I hate how often he says that.

Yeah. They weren't even executing it properly back then. That's why Bo wouldn't give them their blackshirts until Oct/Nov.

Suh (as a play-maker) just masked the problems.

Worst DT in D1 fb. Just stands there watching plays. I know part of that is scheme but he just fucking stands there. It's so pathetic to see.

I just remember hearing bo saying his much mistake David made

Then we see had like 12 tackles 5 for tfl and then your like so what he do wrong ??

Oh I see he didn't want to play patty cake!


Like I said get ready for a rough season defense wise

 

[Footballnut]

Man, people don't understand the 2-gap at all... And they don't understand what Bo is saying here.

The 2-Gap isn't just having "2 gaps" he's right. So stop with the attacks like he doesn't know what he's talking about. He's forgotten more about defense than most here know. 2-Gap actually happens like this:

The defensive tackle lines head up over the guard on any given play. Giving him the responsibility for the gap on the guards right and left... 2 gaps. HOWEVER, when the play starts the DT is supposed to read his run keys and recognize the flow of the play. As he recognizes the flow he fills that gap (it's an iso, i will fill the gap to the right, it's a lead play or off-tackle, so I fill the gap to the left). A good 2-gapper understands this (watch Kevin Maurice for one) and can make a play. the LBer then fills the other gap and takes away the "cut back lane." Often the RB sees the DT (or DE) filling the gap he should go to and tries to make a quick cut back. That's why LBers make more plays than DTs in this defense. The problem is when the DT and LB both fill the same gap... cut back lane is open and no one is available until the safety... that's why it's so hard for the safety to play in Bo's system. The safety has to make up for mistakes on both levels.

So, the 2-gap when it is run effectively is one of the most effective defensive philosophies out there. The problem is that if it's not instinctual then most players are a step slow to their gaps. Thinking too much (i.e. Randy Gregory on Zenner's 40 yard TD run). Single gapping gives the DT, LB and Safety run fits no matter where the play goes. Iso play? Doesn't matter, I'm still running to the left gap... problem with 1-gap is it opens up more for blocking mismatches. What could be a 2-3 yard gain shifts to 5-8 because of a mismatch.

Right now Nebraska is running a lot more 1-gap than 2-gap. VV and Maurice are in the game? probably running 2-gap, others? We're gapping out.

A good coach should adjust to what personnel he has. If we had suh like DL players the two gap works and offense are shut down. But we don't and our strength is probably the secondary so why can't we adjust and run scheme that makes the player think less and attack more

Not to mention teams have pick apart our defense bc the players can't grasp his scheme which is a sign to either simplify some more or find a scheme that they can grasp.

If you can't stop the run in the bigten your fucked. Any system works if you have the right players so again it's on Bo to get the right player to run this or time to get a new scheme

 

[tometom]

I'll admit I didn't know the exact plan as nut just described, but that is basically what I envisioned. the problem with it is a) the DL has to think too much and b) they aren't strong enough to fight for their gap responsibility. As he said, guys just aren't reading it quick enough. I'd take the occassional 5-8 yard play if we could get more 0-1 yard plays from the 1 gap. the way it sits now, we are getting the constant 4-6 yard play (if not a completely blown assignment for 40), so anything is an improvement.

He already did exposing the flaws in bo system

You don't have them players to run it.......

Seriously sdsu put up numbers what more proof do you need?!?

 

[iruletheskool]

Thad has 2 solo tackles in his lion's share of snaps

Collins has a sack and a FF in about 10 snaps or however many he has

 

[Red_Alert]

Yep. Asst coaches, players, fans, and media are all dumb-fucks. Only Bo and footballnut know what's going on round-here.

So Bo's gonna simplify what he's trying to do ("less X's and O's and more fundamentals"). They'll look improved for the Illinois and Minnesota games. Then Bo will get confident and go right back to the failure he's been and Nebraska will get blown the fuck out again.

Wash, rinse, repeat, until November 30th when he's shown the door.

 

[corn train]

The problem I have is nothing to do with understanding the difference between a 1 and 2 gap, it's that whatever the coaches are teaching, the players don't understand it, if the players don't understand it, the coaches aren't teaching them correctly. Furthermore, it's kindof late now to be teaching blocking schemes, this shit should have been addressed during spring and fall camps, in other words we're screwed at this point so it really doesn't even matter what the coaches say or do

In theory what says is correct if you have the players to run bo system it works

Then reality sets in and you see he can't recruit and the players he has can't run his system

Again it falls on bo either recruit better or teach your system in a way players can grasp it.

Like I said sdsu put up div1 numbers near 500 so stop with the excuses and fix it or swallow your pride and junk it

Wrong. You're all a bunch of dumb-fucks who don't understand. Stop attacking Bo.
