Lhornfan Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 It's just a shame that our defense is getting beat because they aren't doing things that are coached better at the high school level. I'm talking about simple things like maintaining your gap, getting off blocks and breaking down in the open field to make a tackle. Why would our outside contain work inside when the ball is coming his way? Why does our LB chase a fake handoff when the entire offensive line is zone blocking the opposite direction? And how in the world do we let the WR get behind us with 20 seconds to play and a 7 point lead? I don't think we need to worry about Orlando going anywhere right now. PS - Kudos to WV going for 2 and the win. You can't stop everything, but you better at least key the guy with the ball when the game is on the line and he only needs 3 yards.

He's been a dissapointment. Heck... All the LBs are a dissapointment. Sure Johnson can run, but how many times do we hear his name? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustAFan11 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 It’s amazing how the defense has just fallen apart. The LB play is nonexistent, the DBs are missing tackles, and we aren’t getting any turnovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Boyd brought his dog with him today. Need some legit DL too. Barely laid a finger on Grier all day and they didn't even have their starting LT most of the game.

TxFight Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 I am officially off the Orlando hype train. Coming out of the bye week, you know where your team should be able to get refocused on the little things, Texas has given up 80 points and almost 1200 Yards. Don’t tackle consistently. Don’t cover consistently. Can’t stop the run consistently but make up for it by almost never being able to get pressure on the QB and cover the pass. He again gets out dueled in crucial junctions that decide the outcome of the game. Consistently let Wheeer just get picked on and abused and adjusted by putting even younger DL guys into the game in front of him. Just so frustrated right now.

TxFight Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Texas is doing a lot of things well offensively. Protecting the football, limiting the 3 and outs, switching field position, scoring points. Heck even special teams are better. But my goodness can someone play some flippin defense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t set the LOS with 3 DL. That’s why he’s constantly having to send pressure and expecting the secondary to stop the run. Won’t change until his philosophy does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustAFan11 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 The personnel of this defense can’t run the same defense that we saw last year. Texas went to nickel in the 2nd half and was still getting gashed by the run. I sound like a broken record but Wheeler can’t graduate soon enough. DeGabriel Floyd will be an instant upgrade even as a true freshman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas is the most bi-polar team in the NCAA this year. They only play well on 1 side of the ball per game. You never get both... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegreatbambino Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 Few stats that make me sick about the Texas D today: O sacks 3 tackles for loss 2 QB hurries Also Sam had 400+ yards of total offense and 4 more TDs today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirtFalcon Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Texas has the ball 1st and goal inside the one yard line and can't run up the middle for 1 yard? Why in the wide world of sports are they running deep and wide? Trying to be way too cute instead of powering it in. Cost them the game settling for a field goal ... smh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a bad result but not a bad call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those LBs can’t read because the LOS is coming at them or they’ve been blitzed. Hard the get downhill when you’re constantly getting OL upfield for blocks. Until the DL goes to a 4 man front, this defense is destined to ####. Doesn’t matter who your LBs are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
