Hookemhorns88 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Big plays plagued Texas today on defense. The defense plays decent enough 80% of the time but when it goes bad it is totally off of the rails. Duvernay returning kicks today was ill advised. Started each series too deep as a result. Ehlinger was off today. Would have expected him to tuck it and run more often. The offense was too East/West today. When Texas did stretch the field the DB's interferred. Should have went deep more often. I think Ingram has been supplanted by RoJo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what their coach teaches. He predicts that the officials aren’t going to throw the flag enough for it to really hurt the defense and you saw exactly that today.

DB2point0 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 The 3 man front is killing the entire defense. Not being able to force a qb up into a pocket that you can collapse with guys like coburn ####. It also forces cb’s to get off of blocks in a hurry (in the run game) to even have a chance at containment. This scheme is killing the defense. It’ll be the reason Texas doesn’t win the conference as long as Orlando employs the 3 man front. This conference has creative playcallers that will exploit it. They’ll Be able to beat run heavy teams like Georgia that don’t really try to set the edge and muscles their opponents. No pressure from the sorry lack of pass rush keeps the dbs in coverage far too long. They’ll always look awful statistically. They need to tackle better too.

Hookemhorns88 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Herman at is post-game presser said that McColluch has a dislocated shoulder and DB Brown (?) has broken forearm. Colin Johnson left the game due to a head injury due to helmet to helmet contact. I also assume that Roach will miss the first half next week.

Rough year on the injury front for a defense that is playing a lot of young guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB2point0 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 If Herman doesn’t suggest changes to the defensive scheme he needs to consider opening up the offense some. At least try scoring a bunch of points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Herman could have opened up his play book if they hadn’t put themselves in poor field position after kickoffs. Defense did not contain the edge very well. Injuries have taken a toll on the defense. Congrats on the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man I know you keep talking about the 3 man front killing Texas but I think it has a lot to do with what personnel they have available. We are hurting on the defensive line with depth, and we have a lot of guys that can run in the back 8. We can run a productive 3 man front if we use pressure periodically and contain leverage or gap integrity. Even at times when we blitzed 5-6, we had two guys blitzing the same gap. This might work against QBs with less experience, but it didn't phase Hurt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lhornfan Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 By the way, how old is CeeDee Lamb. I feel like we've been trying to tackle that guy for 10 years. Was the guy today CeeDee Jr? He needs to move on to the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll cop to that, if you'll admit UT's o-line straight up tackled our d-line for four quarters. It didn't really help, but... it's the principle of the thing.
