Mickey,
I noticed something that Clemson defense was doing against NC State that bothered me. If State used two wideou
this week. The back out of the backfield was not his man according to him. He just tried to make the tackle. Admits he should have had a better tackle and not let him score.
The last DC we had that sold out to stop 'chunk plays' got fired because he could not get the opposing D off the field..... look at how many possessions NCSt had and how many times they scored against our D.... The only problem our D had was the not being able to tackle the QB. If we had tackles the QB every time we had hands on him NCSt may not have scores but once on offense.
Our D sells out to get our offense the ball back. Sometimes that is a 3 and out ,sometimes a score ,sometimes a TO. Our previous DC could not get the opposing O off the field... I like what Coach V is doing.
