lol excluding Kennesaw and Monmouth...Might need to add Charleston Southern to that conversation. Monmouth plays at Charleston Southern this weekend. Talk about a game that sets the tone early for the conference. Definitely looking forward to watching it for comparative analysis. Yep. I'll be watching.

Personal opinion.....there's too much panic collectively on this website after 2 games where 1) We lost to a quality Southern Conference program that played in the spring 2) We lost to an FCS team, but played them tight for a half with our 2nd string QB Do I have concerns....yes. I went to both games. A&T was getting stronger vs Furman as the game went along.... Duke was just deeper and better than us, but I was extremely pleased with our level of competitiveness.....An FBS team had to onside kick us because our O-line was pushing their FBS D-line around (let that marinate for a second). We got 2 weeks of REST and PREPARATION. This will pay huge dividends. We are an extremely talented team that simply needs to correct some things. I'm hoping our coaching improves. I'm hoping our health improves. But, all in all, I gotta say, I'm not particularly worried at this point in time. That very well may change....but putting up quality efforts (in losses) vs Furman and Duke don't have me frustrated. Let this season play out. Let the team make adjustments and improve. Believe me, if we lose some games where we just flat out look unprepared, I'd be the most upset poster on this board and state my frustrations. We just gotta let this thing play out for now.....by the way, I think our next few opponents may be in trouble. Right On! Yep AND what Maxell said! Pent up Patience!

Perfect illustration of our defensive problems against Duke last Friday: How do we let a slot receiver get that wide open on 4th and four?

You see the safety coming down hill ? He is not playing 4th and 4 he just looking to come over the top to prevent a big play if they go long …it also does not look like anyone assigned to slot receiver
Most offense will not gamble on a long fly pass on a 4th and 4 it takes to long to develop and lots of things can go wrong …and you only need 4 yards.
Bottom line 4th and 4 your safety can’t be 20 yards from line of scrimmage

This is a great illustration of the BS coach Washington is trying to sell everyone, how does a pass rush stop this guy from getting a first down? Especially since he isn’t being covered? Everyone is playing assignment football but the scheme is 💩

Let’s not look at those WR screens where we are outnumbered every time, two defenders vs 3 offensive palyers

Perfect illustration of our defensive problems against Duke last Friday: How do we let a slot receiver get that wide open on 4th and four? that's clearly a "missed assignment", your safety shouldn't be solely responsible for covering a slot receiver or else, who's gonna cover the safety's responsibility which is to not let anything get behind him? duke had receivers "wide open" on a lot of plays. like i've said previously, our pass defense (all 11 players) needs a ton of work! since this is a bye week, maybe we can patch things up before we play the rest of our games...

We’d probably look a lot different with our starting corners out there. Even more so if we’d gotten some run last fall or in the spring. Not an excuse, just an observation.

how does a pass rush stop this guy from getting a first down? It doesn't.

Bottom line 4th and 4 your safety can’t be 20 yards from line of scrimmage True the Safety was a little to deep , but that route was the LB's responsibility because it was a shallow route . The Safety reacted appropriately . You can tell by that picture that there seems to be NO verbal Communications going on with our Defense especially between the LB and secondary . Because that slot reciever should have been called/pointed out , so that the LB can make adjustments if they were in a blitz package can change to coverage. A scheme is nothing but a Silabus that can be adjusted on the fly . That's where Verbal Communications come in to play . That is on the Coaches to Stress that to his defensive players . Where was Mike at on that route ? I always teach my TE's , Backs and Recievers on shallow routes key on the LB actions the spots they Vacate is your Destination and that is exactly what Duke and Furman did in both games . Both Duke and Furman ran those shallow routes to perfection off of the movements of our Line Backers and our lack of communication and ability to make adjustments to what they where doing . Coaching on the fly is Paramount .

Everyone is playing assignment football but the scheme is 💩 That is not assignment Football right there , that is players not communicating on the field . Football is situational action that can be altered or adjusted at any time . Know scheme is absolute if your players are coached right . Coach Mel Grooms and Bo Lightening were big on his defensive players communicating on the field . DB's Osceola Hicks and John Duck Guy and Steve Jackson Mike LB could change players positioning by communicating and adjusting ..i.e calling of Blitzes into Coverages . That is not what I'm seeing here no Verbal Communication at all . That's not the scheme that's the coaching .

Something is not quite right with our defense philosophy, LBers Secondary need to be like the Honey Badger go for the kill/hit.

Well, based on this picture, it looked like everyone else was in good tight coverage but the safety. They literally beat us with that same play all night...no one was within 7 yards of the slot receiver when he caught the ball. Now, if you are saying the safety was supposed to play back and when the receiver catches the ball you come up and make a big hit on the receiver...okay. But, that didn't happen, the receiver caught the ball and had plenty of room to race to the endzone. And lastly, it's unacceptable because, we did not adjust to that route all night. Look at the score, it's tied and we never fixed the problem...that's just unacceptable.

Not only the missed assignments, the poor tackling on this play as well (Another Washington concern). If I remember correctly, Najee took a bad angle and couldn't wrap up the receiver and he almost scored. They eventually punched it in before the half, which changed the momentum of this game.
