aggressivenss probably means pushing a guy out of bounds along the sideline and not letting him tipotoe and stretch for another 10 yeards ( done at least 3 times against WV) and wrapping up when tackling taking them to the ground. we had two different slings of guys where we didn take them to the ground and they manged to get up and go for 5-10 more yerds. we had one of ours get slung and he flopped on the ground like a dead carp. pretty clear who came to play that night.

why the heck is tackling such a big problem for us?

The guys Clemson recruits are all elite athletes. I realize that the other team is filled with great athletes too (who can break tackles, etc.) but, like the article states, our tackling has gone from bad to worse.

DC Hood makes some good observations

Like when he originally named four mobile QBs and said it was just three examples... and has since gone back and edited it - that was quick and observant.

Tackling is bad at all levels now

Even the best NFL players don't wrap up.
But we are worse than most.

The big hit with a sholder has become to football as the "thunder dunk" has become to basketball. Guys more concerned with making a highlight reel than proper exicution.

As much as I hate it I disagree on Hall...

After having a very good freshman season he hasn't really done anything IMO. Too many times this season he was seen running with his back to the LOS trying to cover a man already covered by a corner leaving the middle of the field wide open. At times it appeared he was too busy trying to get the others in position or making calls when the ball was snapped. I'll stick to my original thoughts on our DBs this season...really good, dependable back ups priot to this season but not starter material and I think it showed this year.

Maybe another example of Steele's scheme being too

complex. If Hall is trying to get everyone else lined up correctly, then he can't focus on his own assignment.

i realize our defense was awful.. but it was good enough with the offense to win 10 games and the ACC.. i hope we can be more agressive and better tacklers in our next years.... (see Alabama team for example) HOwever,, we must recruit those kinds of kids and they arent coming in droves to CLemson for some reason .

I've been saying it for 2 years. The defense lacks that Clemson "swagger". The "Clarence Megwa Leg Breaking Intensity" or the "Matt Ryan Wishes He Had Played Chess After Getting Hit That Hard" intensity. We did not swarm the ball. Ever. I'm a pretty young guy, but I remember the defenses where it was 7 or 8 Tigers blowing up a pitiful running back or unlucky wide receiver. I miss this, as I'm sure everyone else does. I certainly don't think it was a lack of talent. Simply we lost that Clemson "swagger". The "I want to punch you in the mouth if you even think about moving the ball" mentality. I hope we can get someone who is less "scheme" and more beat down football.

to hear any excuses for not having a Top 20 Defense this year...No "players graduating", no "this is his first year", no "we played GT 9 days into his first season", "we don't have depth", "We're young"...None of that...And God-forbid we miss a tackle or blow an assignment...

Re: Tackling has devolved to Stripping
Jan 18, 2012, 1:15 PM
|

It has become an obsession with defenders, they've gone from clean hard tackling to just trying to strip the ball from the runner. How many times we've seen the runner move 10-15 yards further downfield as the defender is dragging along trying to strip the ball!

Re: Are you expecting us to be Bama on defense??
Jan 18, 2012, 1:32 PM

Cuz that will never happen. You just listed the problems for every team in the country, except for maybe Bama and LSU. Every team wants faster, harder-hitting players that tackle better. Every fan wants a defense who has 3-and-outs every other drive. Won't happen. Thats why this is college ball. A DC who the kids like and respond to will be plenty.

tackling and full contact. THAT is how you tougher a team up. S&C doesn't make you tough. Practicing until it hurts makes you tough.

Hood is pretty much dead on. I don't think he missed anything except building leadership on defense and recruiting. Good leaders as we have had in past years would not have let the Orange Bowl embarrasswent happen.
We need a great evaluater of talent and an enthusiastic recruiter. We have to find and go get the defensive players we need!
