Where the fuck was Overshown tonight?

Are we confident that were gonna shut down Tylan Wallace ? Jalen hurts? What a shit performance. 

No. We won’t, but maybe we’ll outscore them.

Jalen Green got worked and we were out of position all game. No pressure from the D line. Probably the worst game I’ve seen Orlando coach. Just plain bad all game.

Good point.  Did he play?

Dude has such little faith in his DBs that he thinks his best chance to get a stop on 3rd and 17 is via a blitz. 

Plausible

I never saw him on the field. I did see a lot of Boyce and Thompson though.

Orlando is _iaz redux. He's been figured out. He sucked last season and he appears to suck even more now. Jason Washington also seems like he sucks.

Definitely these players don't deserve the dbu name.  Neither does LSU, we torched them.

Jesus, 575 yards.

Georgia Southern only allowed them 472.  Our D has the sucks.  Hope they get it figured out.

You have forgotten last years oklahoma st game. Go re watch the 4th quarter. That game gave me fucking hemorrhoids.

I wouldn’t go that far. He’s pretty decent when it comes to coaching fundamentals. We have very green DBs who were playing agains NFL caliber WRs and WB. The timing of his blitz calls is very odd and cost us tonight. I’m not sold on the 3-3-5. At least not on the way TO employs it.

And even if you bring some pressure, you don’t bring 7 fucking guys.  Every single WR had a 1 on 1 matchup.

Bring 5, put 6 DB's on 4 WR's, force the check down for a moderate gain and give the ball back to your offense with two minutes to play.  It's the obvious fucking call. Unless you're Mr. Blitzhappy.

Fundamentals aren't good either. We had 2 senior CB's last year and got torched by Maryland, OU twice, Ok St, WVU, and Tech. Basically every offense with a pulse. Far too often on deep balls our corners have no idea where the ball is and flail around hoping for the best. Saw it last year as well, thought not this bad. It's a trend.

Grow a pair. 

I said our defense was garbage in last week's thread and you guys were acting like i was crazy. How about now?

You still suck. Ask again next week, little one.

You suck like our defense.

As I’ve said in other threads, Orlando needs to find himself in one of the Austin homeless camps tomorrow morning.

Orlando is good at generally stopping the run with a light box - although you can pound us off tackle if you commit to the run especially on passing downs (see Okie State and WVU last year) - but his design and in-game calls are not good at all against the pass.  That’s not just knee jerk because of tonight, either.  Our pass defense stats haven’t been pretty.

Our blitz packages are often pretty terrible and just get us burned.  I wish he would just put Ossai at WDE in a four man front, but instead we try to manufacture pressure with DBs starting their blitz from 10 yards outside the box and leaving giant holes in coverage.  

His emphasis is on trying to trick the QB and win the chess match.  It’s a dangerous game.  Even today against the high powered spread offenses, the best defenses are the ones that just win the LOS in a base look and don’t take so many risks.  I’d rather have 4 big guys doing something predictable and collapsing the pocket than a Chinese fire drill with DBs scrambling all over the place. 

Thank you, Texas needs to be running a 4 man front and letting Ossai play with his hand in the dirt coming off the edge.

LSU made a lot of their yards in the middle of the field between the hashes, or where Orlando likes to call blitzes. It didn’t take a lot of scheming from the LSU coaches to tell Burrow find the guy open in the middle of the field.

None of our CBs know how to play the ball in the air. Orlando and Washington should be on the hot seat right now.

Not 100%, Orlando needs to have an even front defense where he’s not having to blitz to generate pressure on 3 and 17.

Part of the easy money between the hashes had to do with the fact that our LB's drop to a spot, and have little feel for what's happening behind.  They don't exactly look for work either.  It's easy to find a target if the QB isn't flustered during his initial read by whatever junk defense look we're running.

Whatever happened to the simple 4-2-5 defense?

Too simple, you need to be super clever!

He's fucked next week. Rice will go empty set spread to 22 personnel on consecutive plays. Got a QB that went to Harvard. Memorized the playbook in one day.

Orlando fielded the #110 rated pass defense in the nation last year, and it looks to be much much worse this year.

Their qb that went to harvard is in the hospital

 

Im not too concerned yet about orlando. Dude is the real deal, but yall forget we lost 85% of our defensive production from last year

 

Calling for his firing isnt laughable, but its definitely reactionary and not warranted this early in the season. Jfc guys

This thread is comedy.   The worst fuckups were on offense.  We had picks, sacks, a couple of stops, and in the end had to roll the dice.  If you think soft coverage guarantees you stop that QB on 3rd and 17, then they just go over the top and outside.  Given what he had to work with, and what he did with it last night, Orlando is not the villain.

The offense scored on every 2nd half possession.

UT was one dropped td at the goal line and a 4th and goal, FG from winning this game 

two plays, 30 seconds of game time

There was something in the air that night
The passes alight, Orlando
They were throwing there for you and me
For Victory, Orlando

Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If we had to do the same again
We would, our friend, Orlando

Lot of armchair coaches here. You guys realize we have 8 new starters on defense right? Anybody that thought LSU wasn’t gonna score points on us is a goofball. Still think we win the Big 12 and defense will improve

They were vanilla and up 45-3 at half. I wouldn’t put too much stock in this

Georgia does not have a dynamic offense. I’m trying to think of a dynamic offense that Orlando has slowed down. He slowed down Tech some, but we had a massive talent advantage. Shit the bed against OU, OSU, West Virginia, LSU. Would like to see some progress against strong passing offenses.

All of the secondary talent recruited in the past 2 years (that got torched last night) will have to improve.  That improvement is going to be disguised by our ability to win the line battle.  In theory we've seen the best O-line we're facing before the post-season.

Even when Orlando had experienced db's his pass defense drank ass juice.  This is our concern, dude.

 Not giving these cbs safety help deep was inexcusable. 

We don't have the talent to slow down their running game and crossing routes if we don't bring 6.  If our running game wasn't on the rocks, then yeah go ahead and conceed the middle of the field and set up camp in your own red zone and play dime.

It's the old axiom:

price

quality

time

 

pick 2.

Our pass defense was #110 in the nation last year

Like I’ve said before, OU wins the conference 3 years straight with shitty defense. If our defense is struggling then we need to open up the offense and run the ball more

Yes. Getting torched in the back end when you leave the middle of the field wide open is becoming a concern no matter the personnel.

Orlando needs some even front alignments in his arsenal, especially on 3rd and 17.

If you can't defend the first down marker on 3rd and 17 without a blitz you are in big fucking trouble...Sam and team better be ready to score s shit ton of points this year

Here for the gangbang, still do not understand that 3rd and 17 call.

I understand the 3rd and 17 call. Mensa and Orlando are arrogant stubborn pricks who coach as if it is playstation.
