He's been given a very good situation to walk into

He's got a wealth of experienced talent coming back and a ludicrous amount of young and hungry talent pushing for PT.

Kind of reminds me of last year when the D line was the question mark, and they took up the challenge and stepped up
I can see the secondary being much improved this season!

Good follow up to my pass D question
Jul 31, 2013, 11:57 AM
|

Good to hear the whole team is challenging the D to step it up and that the players are taking a lot of the initiative themselves. There couldn't be any more challenging a test than UGA to start with. Prove all that energy and commitment pays off and I'm a believer for the whole season.

OK - we were 71st in pass defense . . . care to guess where

the woofpuppies were ?
83rd.
Not hacking - just thought it was curious the article didn't mention that along with our ranking. Now I know why.
I understand there is a LOT more to pass defense than the defensive backfield, but just thought it was curious how it was worded / avoided in the article.

And the wolf puppies don't recruit as well as Clemson does. That is one of the main reasons that coach Reed came to Clemson, Talent, talent that will make his name well known. If you or anybody else have read or heard his interviews. He has stated that most good recruits he tried to recruit at NCST, they ended up at Clemson. Give the man credit, he knew where he could make his self better known. Gooooo Reeeeeeed

O'Brien wasn't near the recruiter that Dabo is. The Woofies suffered from LOFT - Lack Of Freakin Talent (sorta like my golf game). They had some talented guys but they weren't 2 deep.

Might not have watched a lot of film

But I bet he took notice of our group being burned by one player several times last year by NC State

I was totally disappointed in the fact that he preferred to NOT watch film of the returning players - just be be unbiased in his opinion of them. I would have reviewed a ton of film and looked for ways to make those returning guys even better. Major mistake IMO. Let's hope I'm wrong. I'm also disappointed that Dabo accepts this as a preferred method.
It had better work - 'nuff said.

If he can't evaluate where everybody is during practice, we should send him back to NC State right now. He has plenty of time to evaluate the guys during camp.
More importantly though, what film is he going to look at? Half of last year's secondary graduated and half that stayed are going to be in a new position.
Practically speaking, it doesn't make a lot of sense to spend a lot of time looking at tape from two years ago to evaluate guys that are coming off of injury or last year to see how they did against high school talent.
...and then, there is the chance that he he has watched plenty of film and is just saying that to keep the troops hungry and working hard.

Reed' last year at NCSU
Jul 31, 2013, 4:53 PM
|

Their secondary was horrible and it was not due to lack of talent. They had CB D.Amerson 2nd round pick and FS E. Wolff 5th round pick. Tenn., UNC, Miami, and CU threw for a combined 1700-yards on them. They repeatedly and disturbingly got beat deep and on double moves. The last minute TD's they gave up against Miami and UNC cost them 2 victories and were inexcusable. I will be interested how he does at CU. Please note the 2011 NCSU secondary was very good. It could be the pass rush in 2012 was bad, the players stopped listening, or just had a bad year and played selfishly but I will take a wait and see attitude on Reed

Dabo has made some good hires though, so I'll trust his judgement.
