No Ballz Jimmy

FireCohen

Once again could not stop a running offense that went right at him. why don't you give up the defense back to kawasaki. clearly he is a better DC. fucking pathetic that you could not get off the field on the third downs. all you doogs like @dnc need stfu of they only giving up 20 points or so. get fucked

I don't know who it's on but the tackling is astonishing. It doesn't appear like the defense misses a ton of tackles because the guys in position don't even come close, they just dive at the legs or watch the RB go by. Not even slowing down the ball carrier most of the time.

Jimmy was as flat as a pancake last night.

It was some of the worst tackling since 2008

Also how many times did WE stand up the running back but then Stanford somehow pushed the pile forward another 3-5 yards.

It’s like we are actively trying to avoid injuring the other team by tackling way to high, not driving through, and avoiding taking out the legs at all costs.

James is not good in game if things aren't working

Experience required I guess

Not sure what we are paying Petersen for

Is this the same Jimmy that's walked on water around here lately?

I said after Stanford 2017 that giving Jimmy playcalling was a mistake

If you don't run the air raid he seems lost

I'm giving you shit because I haven't seen a collective man crush on a coach like the one that was displayed here for Lake in some time.

Virtually any questioning of him would start a 20 page thread.

Hes a great recruiter and his defensive backs are legit

Just not sure the price to keep him is worth taking Kwat off the gameday calls

There's a lot to like about Jimmy

Another soft boat to work and sip PSLs from in office espresso machine coach.

Sure.

But Peter Principle.

If you dare criticize Jimmy Lake, you won't last long.

What's most astonishing is how bad we've been at defending screens. We used to have linebackers with speed who could close sideline to sideline. Our corners were adept at shedding blocks and winning one-on-one battles. We played our safeties within 20 yards of the LOS so they could actually defend in the flat. Now we do literally none of those things despite having the personnel to do 2/3 of them (linebackers lol). It's hard to know who's primarily responsible for this regression, but I have to assume Jimmy.

The LBs are fucking terrible. Manu tackles like he's trying to knock a candy bar off the circular wire in a vending machine. A bunch of guys on the defense do.

When he was pushing his own player in the back, late in the game, standing straight up, not getting low like he wanted to tackle anyone, I saw a player with no natural instinct, talent, or brains.

Manu really is garbage.

They let that faggot with pink gloves gloat and run for a career high. It was hard to watch. This team regressed five fucking years.

Thing is this: If we had receivers who could get open and catch a ball, maybe the D isn't exhausted by being on the field for 45 minutes. It all goes back to the shitty, unproductive offense in my mind. Yes, our LBs are liquid shit, but our WRs are fucking cancer.

We gave up three straight scoring drives and 200+ yards to start the game. Our WRs being shit is unrelated to our defense being simultaneously their own brand of shit.

Jimmy is good. But his defense scheme is a goldilocks scheme. It's great for underperforming teams but the minute it faces a physical team it collapses. I watched Penn St play a week ago. That's a good team...aggressive defense. Linebackers that play with controlled anger. I think they win out until Ohio State.

Im just not a fan of the "bend but don't break" defense philosophy. Often these defenses break when they meet good competition. I think the reason you recruit good DB is to put them on an island and know the statistical odds should be in your favor. This team has routinely gone in big games and crapped the bed.
