I am not an offensive coordinator, but I think I know where to go with the defense looking like this. The ref had the best coverage on this play.

7 guys dropped (not surprising), 2 of them even LOOKING at the play. So it's zone coverage, but without the benefit of keeping the play in front of them.

This guy's a real jerk
Wait, you mean you're allowed to actually FIND WORK in zone coverage? No way. This defense could have fooled me.

It's been a problem for years that Knowles kinda fixed by playing mostly saban tyle match zone. But when they play straight zone far too often they just drop to a spot. Can have 3 guys triangled around a guy. But no one takes the man and no one undercuts it. 3 guys around a guy in zone should mean someone is hunting an INT but it feels like they never do.

Surely you're not suggesting that a team that runs zone defense 95% of the time should expect to be ranked higher than 106th in FBS in interceptions

Bewildering why, even in a zone, how often large holes are there due to misalignment (player or coach?).. and with DBs playing off by 7-10 makes it ripe to hit easy crossing routes into the middle

That’s an obvious hold by their RT.I am not an offensive coordinator, but I think I know where to go with the defense looking like this. The ref had the best coverage on this play.

Beer is God's proof that he loves us.
It is hard to recover from losing the top end talent we lost to the NFL last year. It is also hard to believe last year's defense gave up any points.

I really question whether this group of players should have ever been asked to run this scheme. We're missing the Belichick style two-gapping nose tackle like Kayden, and it's kind of all cascading from there. I think we are playing way more 2 and 3 DT groupings than last year because of that? It sure seems like it. And instead of just accepting that the team personnel is more suited to an even front 4 man, Kenyatta is often being asked to stand up and play as a hybrid WDE/linebacker to keep that part of the playbook, and that's just stupid. He's 6'6 so he's an easy block if he rushes standing up, he's not great in coverage. He should have his hand in the dirt. A simpler system where roles aren't constantly changing would probably be a boon to a young team too.
