Banged up secondary

[OTFBrandon]

Well injuries aren’t fun as we could tell in that fourth quarter, but I can’t believe that the talent the secondary has could give up that much yards on Vandys final two drives without having prevent being called the whole time. I understand it’s a no brainer to play prevent when the other team is in desperation mode, but in my opinion if i’m PK at some point you have to call something else that isn’t going to give up 15-20 yards every throw down the seam. So in my opinion i’m not too worried about this secondary going forward. These next two weeks will be much needed resting time for this team. On to Athens we go with a much healthier team God willing. Hook’Em and happy Saturday fellas!

the 4th and 19was garbage

Aside from the end of the first half the defense was called beautifully. Why go away from what’s been working all game?

It’s wild to me that people think it’s a simple fix as getting the communication with taaffe back

Jelani and Michael are very good safeties. Their backups will be… eventually.

Well the Talent is there, something isn’t jelling for whatever reason. At least not to a consistent level.

Inexcusable at the goal line and situation. Should have called TO then if we were that clueless in a situation that screams deep coverage. It was a 10 point game and the game would have been completely iced.

Definitely underwhelming this year. Not sure if it’s a “fire this person” type of fix though like some want to do as usual.

There were TWO holdings in the end zone on that play, but go off 

[Jordan91]

Those are four and five star players out there. They can’t leave a player wide open and watch him run down the field. It doesn’t excuse 4 and forever either.

Was that actually prevent or cover 3? We tend to mix the two up lol. Prevent would be playing 20-30 yards off everywhere. But from what I'm watching, they had some busts which need to be addressed.

Prevent defense prevents wins

This Akina Orphey experiment will end when the season is over. Akina out to pasture and Orphey back to a mid P4. Akina a zone guy 🤣LMAO he stealing $ for retirement now.

A lot of ugly for Sark on Monday in his Good, Bad, and Ugly coaching segment.

It wasn’t prevent. It was lost as a goose Cover-Who?

Filsame was not mentally in the stadium, and Williams is clearly not back physically. 
 

Hiring a man specialist to run our back end probably contributes to our abysmal feel for zone coverage, drops and spacing as well.

Not having an AA safety, another starting safety getting injured, and your DEs getting held all game will cause problems for any secondary.

Pretty sure Akina is a zone coverage guy. Not sure PK had much input into who is hired, that's more Sark. But I could be wrong.

Filsaime is injured himself, Williams hasn't played a ton since his injury. Plus both your starting guys were out. Believe it or not, that does hurt you. 

But they do need to do better with coverage. Some of the busts were complete head scratches.

[TTown]

Akina is not a zone guy c' mon  man. Bad hire because of late departures. Probably influenced by Nansen. Time to move on , but we are stuck until the season is over sadly . Looks like early PK years where front and back are not in sync. Need Taafe back bad for Georgia and beyond.

We need to get McDonald to return and get a safety in the portal.  We also need a corner with MM going pro.  Really like that MSST corner Lee.
