I think this area is most concerning:
Tackle Leaders
Earl Wolff: 20
David Amerson: 16
C.J. Wilson: 10
Brandan Bishop: 10
That group should not even have the opportuity to make that many tackles much less be close to having that many. This is a problem. There is nobody in the front 7 playing any defense, minus Audi Cole. The DB’s are having to play the whole field (run and pass) as if they were the linebackers on the team and that is killing us. The DB’s are just overwhelmed.
Ditto Primacyone.
DB’s leading the team in tackles is something that needs to be corrected. That stat is really shocking, and tells you all you need to know.
Any word on Sweezy, Reiskamp and company returning?
As long as we’re talking stats can we get the number of George Bryan drops so far this year?
If we’re gonna look at the horror show we might as well make it complete.
The DB’s leading the team in tackles doesn’t concern me that much as we’ve played two pass happy teams. I’m actually concerned they don’t have more tackles (the ones that went for scores that shouldn’t have).
The stat that will probably show our biggest weakness is yards per completion by the opposition. I don’t know what it is, but I venture to say that it is the worst in the ACC and near the bottom of the NCAA.
While our front seven needs improvement, our secondary needs an overall.
Bravo on the disclaimer. The stats are good too.
Generally safeties and MLB’s are your tackle leaders. What’s troubling is that two CB’s are in the top 6. That usually means they’re tackling someone who just caught a pass. Whereas often safeties come up for run defense. Also troubling is the fact that the only LB in the top 6 is Cole. Manning and/or Green need to be, and they are not.
I would have to say that the players whose play I have been the most dissapointed with are Manning and Bryan.
Call me crazy, but the only DB I’d want in my top 5 for tackles would be the SS. LB’s, whether strong, weak or outside, should lead the team by far – unless you have a beast of tackle. WF only threw two times more than they ran (36-34). Their O-line just dominated our LB’s. Not a good sign.
good call triadwolf we are 95 in the nation at 8.1 yrds per att which is good enough for DFL in the ACC. rushing d is around 43 in the nation and 4 in the ACC, wo serviceable but not great. the front 7 has some work to do.
