the fact that French said Moto seemed to be creating new ways to get blocked isn't refreshing to hear what so ever.
Leg for the comment, pic for the best comment yet.

What you really want is more zone coverage then...so you really want the LBs to improve...(yes it's still about Motu)...or you want to change secondary coaches? I'll be honest, I want better Lbs to complement the DL, and those guys are in the pipeline...but for now, man coverage and using the linebackers to run stuff and cover the flats is the best we can do, when the DL and MLB can contain the running game with minimal help (read either the Backer or Whip) we can play more zone, with less holes...
a Utes tailgate..
Nobody runs as much Man coverage as we do
I wouldn't mind seeing him get some looks on Saturday, see what he has got.
First, a win.
I'm expecting Furman to throw, so it would be nice to see DBU play up to potential. Along with you guys above, let's see continued improvement on the OL and with the linebackers. As well, some confidence building runs from our running backs would help. And don't be afraid to pass the ball. We've got the receivers, get the ball to them as they need the work.
exactly my thought process, plus the diagram has already been put out there of how to beat this technique. WRs either cut their routes short and pick up PI calls or the QBs throw jump balls and our guys can't break up the passes. The only way we are going to get INTs this way is when we are in zone coverage or on short routes that the DBs can break on before they are in a trail position.
Get out of here with all the hate. I'm going to trust the best DC in college football, who happens to coach MLB, to decide who plays. I don't care who plays the position as long as they are the best option and right now Bud thinks it is Motuapuaka.
Except we won't play a true power team until Pitt, at which point he'll be exposed again. Don't get me wrong, I've been leading his parade all offseason...but we're not gonna see but a few situations where he should need to do more than call the defense and cover the short zone or QB spy. He won't need to go downhill to play good. The few situations where he does need to flow through traffic and make a hard hit behind the line, he won't. Those few situations, after being coached up like a mofo for over a year to do just that, should get him pulled. We have LBs with experience at MLB, and we have unexperienced MLBs, I don't know who the best choice is, but I expect Bud to make up for his bad scheme choice for OSU by picking the right guy to "back-up" Motu, and replace him when the time comes, aka Pitt.
A blowout in favor of the Hokies
Utah State
ND
Vawls
Ducks
LSU
BYU
I wouldn't worry about DB technique too much. They will get a chance to get some picks when the guys they are covering aren't quite as good.
A Fat guy touchdown!
i don't see/know of any other DB coach using this technique.. I love Gray but we should be able to trust Fuller and the rest of the gang to make plays on the ball instead of reacting to the receiver
1) Under 200 yards total offense for them
2) 400+ yards offense for us
3) Bucky to show up
4) Sam to do Sam things
5) A defense that wants to make up for last week
6) The Lane Stadium faithful making as much noise as possible
He wants some SC Top 10 calibur plays
Sean Huelskamp very well might push for playing time. He's tiny for an inside linebacker, but if he can get to the right spot and put a ballcarrier on the ground, the job is his.
Bud was really high on huelskamp prior to his acl last season. He's extremely undersized, but he may get some burn.
Bingo...
For example Syracuse QB will seek a 6th year after--> missing the last seven games of 2014 with a broken calf bone in his left leg, healso suffered a tear in his right Achilles in his 1st series this past Friday..
Seriously. He was calling a great game when Brewer got hurt, and I was pretty excited to see what he was going to do in the second half. There's no question the talent level on that side of the ball has risen considerably since he took over and overall the offense is in a much better place, even if the numbers the past two years don't reflect that. I still fully believe that barring further significant injuries, we'll see some legit improvement this year.
We don't have another MLB so you are out of luck. I think Motuapuaka will improve a lot in the next three games when we aren't playing one of the most talented teams in the country.
And I hate that technique, hence it's on my wish list to have DBs trying to make plays on the ball again. IMO, you're more likely to get PI (notice those have gone up lately) when you play with the technique they are using and less likely to get any turnovers.
This!!
