Whatever Tide! Whatever SEC!

May 1, 2019, 7:20 PM

I checked out the replay of their spring game and they seem concerned to me about missing the two co-OC's. Sarkisan reportedly will keep the RPO that Tua and his brother are so good at. But, unless somebody on their schedule can give them a good enough look; it won't matter again!
I think they will miss those OC's more than they know! That is the reason for an article about how the defensive will carry more of the burden. The defense all year wasn't all that bad from what I could tell. But wait, they racked up great defensive numbers against some non-offensive juggernauts like LSU, Mississippi St and Ole Miss. At least some of the schools we played were good on one side of the ball(Duke has Cutcliff, Mond and Jimbo(we both played), NC St.(Finley was drafted in the 4th round), Dungey should have been drafted. And, I believe will play on Sundays in the NFL.

Brent Venables and defensive staff/players allowed only 16 points to what was called the "best team in college football history"!
I read where their DC has figured out techniques to limit the RPO and how to better defense it. Part of why they will keep using it is to assimilate what we run. The problem is: much like a good chef and a bad chef. They can both have the exact same ingredients but one taste like a beautiful sweet summer morning when you have all bills paid and a pocket full of money and good friends all around you! The other taste like hot garbage!
It's about how you blend and mix it, period! And when you blend and mix it. How long. How often. Under which circumstances!
Talk is cheap! And as I said, I watched their spring game coverage. Never have you heard so many excuses for a 28 point beating! Could have easily been a 35 point beating! But for Dabo's mercy for his Alma Matter!
Tua and company all saying: "we stopped being who we were fundamentally"! I guess! But, you had nearly a month between your last game and the Orange Bowl to re-focus. You had I believe 9 days to prepare for Clemson. You only lost once and you come with: "it was about us not them"!
Great locker room stuff guys, thanks!
Great off season stuff! The new starters Clemson has haven't beaten you guys on the field as full time contributors. I am sure they want to though!

Hope the Tide eat all this talk up about how they lost themselves! How the defense will be good and compliment the explosive offense. I hope they "believe the hype"! Setting they Arsenics up for another beating!

This article is the epitome of hype.

How can a defense lose 7?? non-seniors who declared for the draft, + the seniors, and lose several defensive coaches, and have its cheerwriters declare that it will be better this year?

Did they get a bunch of transferred players to suddenly become eligible?

No.

They got more 5* freshmen to replace the 5* juniors they lost.
They have 5* sophomores and juniors that they are suddenly going to have to trust.
They are going to exercise more depth than they have in years past (yeah, right, we'll see if that happens).
They are going to play more situational packages on defense to get ready for great offenses in the CFP (in other words, playing in the SEC does not adequately prepare them for the CFP.)
And most of all, they are only going to play guys who are motivated to win (with emphasis on the secondary, which is coached directly by St Nick.) Sounds like the arrogance of HBC all over again when you can't trust your assistants to do their jobs.

Let's be honest: Dabo's coaching staff is functioning at such a high level that they will not be outperformed anytime soon. Maybe the players will be outplayed at times, which will make it exciting; but our coaches are practicing management skills that should be the envy of many large corporations.

It is really too bad that so many schools manage their financial and human resources so poorly.
