Can we get a new defense??

Postby Texasscout96 » Sat Nov 23, 2019 7:02 pm

Embarrassing...
How in the world do we give up a 61 yard QB sneak on 3rd and 10 against a team that rum us 80% of the time?

Shockingly pathetic!! If I was the head coach I would fire the defensive coordinator before midnight!

totally agree, the defense did their part against an offense you never see. The offense was off their game today, the defense did more than enough to give a win.
Probaly won't happen...BUT...maybe it will!!

Offense...which included play calling/coaching

Deep balls were not working, we should have gone to shorter passes in 3rd vs waiting to 4th.

This all day. Going for broke makes no sense against this team. We have better athletes. Cram it down their throat instead of playing footsie all day.

We got outcoached in the second half. I have a feeling that the Navy coach reminded his players that they hadn't lost a senior game in 16 years. That is a pretty good speech.

Impatience I think is the word that comes to mind offensively.

The all out blitz was a challenge. We had a drive where we adapted with the WR screen. We should have gone back to that call on the last drive.

But this is one of those games that when your OL isn't quite there yet, you pay. Our offense spent a whole ton of time on the sideline, didn't get into the flow of the game. It was cold. That had an impact, as I predicted. If we have a good OL and have a consistent running game, our offense gets in motion, and our defense has time to get a little fresh.

Not having a Braeden West to catch passes out of the backfield in the flat also hurts in this game also. We haven't really replaced that this season.
