When did I say anything about talent? Unless you are an amazing player, you actually do need experience under your belt at DB. Simple fact. I'm not saying it should take all season long. Christ.GreenRiverGatorz said:
Shit you're right. The legendary trio of the undrafted Parker, Shamburger, and Ducre is nearly impossible to replace.haie said:How about the fact that coach K doesn't have the experience of Ducre, Shamburger, and Parker back there to feel confident about so that he can dial up whatever the fuck he wants? I'm not saying he did a great job but jesus christ, think about the liabilities we had back there against a really good quarterback. The Huskies were trying to get everybody playing time except Lindquist/Williams and the fucking waterboy.

DB != Receiver in terms of player development. But yes there is no excuse for Kelly and King to suck that much. I'm saving my judgement for after this game where probably Baker, Dixon, and Jones start.MikeDamone said:

Couldn't have said it better myself. Kikaha (2 sacks) and Shelton (6 sacks) need more help...what about the pass-rusher formerly known as Corey Littleton? I like having both Hudsons on the field against running teams but not when opposing teams have good QBs who sling it more than 35-40 times a game and Lunt is averaging 44 attempts in his first two games.RoadDawg55 said:
The scheme was vanilla, and the use of Kikaha was criminal. I don't give a fuck if he's in a stance or standing up, but he needs to be on the outside shoulder of the tackle and coming off the edge. That's what pass rushers and guys who get 13 sacks do. I'm not a fan of rushing 3 as often as we did either. 26 times is way too many. The Hudsons shouldn't be 2 of the 3 rushers either. That's a recipe for disaster. It should be used rarely in long yardage situations.
We started out mixing it up with mostly press and soft man coverage. Once we got burned for 3 straight TD's, we mostly played zone, although we did still mix it up a little. That allowed Eastern to dink and dunk us down the field. Everyone hates bend but don't break, but we were playing that by design. The problem is we broke and gave up TD's instead of holding them to 3's. You can't drop picks playing that way either.
If we are playing this way by Stanford, I will get out the pitch fork. Hopefully we are holding some things back for Pac 12 play. The coaches are still instilling their specific fundamentals and techniques and it takes times, especially for freshman DB's who they've been coaching a little over a month. I don't think the coaches are even sure who their best 4 DB's are. They need to figure it out soon though. There are going to be bleak moments with this defense, but I'm pretty confident it will be nothing like 2011.
