I love me some Jimmy but he called an absolute shite game and he doesn't seem to accept it with the bragging on his bendy D. He was calling nickel 2 deep safeties with Stanford running every play...it was the definition of insanity.

He is calling the game as if vita is playing for him
This is big. We went from dominating this stat to being in the middle. I don’t think it takes a lot of thought to know how this contributes to our team being average overall.

Certainly doesn't help that we have a safety who is constantly out of position, blows assignments, and can't really tackle

Playing our safeties 25 yards deep, one of whom is arguably our only defensive play maker, is so fucking nutty I still can't wrap my head around it. Especially when we have two linebackers who can't be trusted to even eat up a blocker, let alone make a play. Especially when Stanford's game plan is churn and burn clock and play the field position game with little emphasis on actually scoring.

No, it doesn’t. Makes me wonder how they ever let McKinney see the field in the Rose Bowl.
They've been playing a safety 25 yards deep for years. Go back to some footage from last season, and there are whole games where Rapp is nowhere to be found. I used to complain quite loudly, "Why is the best tackler on the team 25 yards off the ball!?" The response from the more measured people I asked this of was usually some form of "Scoreboard, Baby." The yards/points stats didn't lie.
This year? It's not working. Due to an attempt to play football without linebackers, the "bend but don't break" defense is both bending and breaking.

Those tackles for 3-5 yard gains that BBK made that he got shit for are missed. Those runs are a lot longer this season.
