Defenses have found out how to stop our scheme this year.

In doing so Syracuse, Wake, and BC left a huge swath of the field wide open and dared us to attack it. It's worked, except for BC wearing out. The plan is to contain the run and deep ball while giving up about a 20 yard space in the middle. It's wide open every play. Safeties are just playing outfield waiting on overthrows. The worst part is that we rarely even attempt these throws and have just conceded the entire middle. At least try.

I have noticed the same thing. Middle of the field is wide open the majority of the time. It seems as if the coaches may not trust Bryants arm completely..

Agreed...

It worked...
Except we beat BC 34-7, were up on WF 28-0 midway through the 4th quarter, and we lost our starting kicker and QB for the Syracuse game. Aside from that, we have been figured out and it's going to be a long rest of the season.

Dude if you can't see that since the Louisville game the O has struggled, you need to take off those dark Orange glasses .
Take away the 4-5 TDs the D has scored and it even looks worse.

He has no clue what’s actually happening on the football field.
But can you name me the other defensive tds we’ve scored other than the O’Daniel pick sixes?

I think he's mostly referring the offense only scoring 17 points against Cuse

Many times this year I've thought that Leggett and Hunter Renfrow would be tearing up this void in coverage.
Obviously JL is gone and Renfrow is no longer a secret weapon, he's usually bumped hard at the line by the OLB and often doubled up.
It appears this exploit is exaggerated because the OC doesn't have much confidence in our RB's ability to bump, run, catch the ball and then hang on to it after the hit.
Maybe way off base but that's the impression that I get.

What we need are some coaches that know how to make

it to a championship of some kind!!
If we had Championship coaches, they'd figure it out and Internetians wouldn't have to point out all our ills.

Are you saying our TE play is up to last years level? It's not criticism, it's fact. Look no further than our 3rd down conversion rate. Pointing out a weakness does not make someone less of a fan and you more of one with the "how dare you question" attitude.

Which is why we need to get players like ETN the ball

in space.
We have too much speed to not be taking advantage of it.

Our coaches act like they can't even spell slant, post or dig.

I think that after DW4, they just don't trust anyone very much and are scheming to avoid costly TOs. The short stuff is pretty safe and the deep stuff is like a punt and the momentum of the interceptor is usually deeper into their territory and is usually in contact with the intended receiver.
Hopefully, now that we've had a loss and may now need some style points to go along with wins to assure a spot in the playoffs, they'll open the playbook a little wider. Not holding my breath though- I'm afraid that won't happen until we lose another.
Our QBs are fine and our WRs are excellent- no reason apart from cowardice not to be putting up huge numbers. Other teams can't really even scheme against it because they'd better stack the box a bit for our two breakaway RBs.
