Ya your right. I’m an idiot. I could have sworn Texas put him inside his first few years at Texas before moving him back outside, because I remember he had that 30 tackle game in high school and I was pissed they stuck him at MLB his freshman year.

  • That's impressive. It didn't look like our players knew what Texas was doing pre-snap

    Y’all are fucking idiots. Without the two muffed points, the D might not have even given up 20 points and we held an explosive OSU offense to 5.5 YPP while forcing 2 turnovers and being given some bad

This is my concern. We looked bad against La Tech, but had decent moments against Ok State when we weren't letting Sanders run around like VY

Getting torched doesn’t mean we don’tĀ haveĀ the skill to runĀ the 3 tite.

Since he’s probably referring to the secondary and Orlando’s penchant for doing dumb shit that requires a lot from them, yeah he’s right.

Orlando’s penchant for doing dumb shit is the problem, not the skill set of our defense. Him putting guys in impossible positions doesn’t mean we don’t have the skill set for the 3 tite. Our defensive personnel works better for the 3 tite than a 3-4 or 4-2-5. The 3 tite system would work well for us if it were better coached.Ā

Seems so. Since it seems to suck as badly, if not worse, for the Offense and Special Teams as well, I thought maybe it's something else.

I am old school, I remember the days of the "Fearsome Foursome".Ā  We need to go back to a four man front and make the QB pay for his intended actions. Ā

Our offense has better overall personnelĀ than our defense for sure, but the coaching on defense has been much, much worse.

I’d be fine with a 4 man front moving forward, but we wouldn’t be getting a lot of pressure even withĀ 4 down lineman this year. We don’t have anyone who’s evenĀ above average at rushing the passer on the roster currently.Ā

But Ossai is a perfect fit for the position he occupies. He does make a lot of plays all over the field so why isn’t his rush better? That’s what I don’t get.

Ā 

He’s not playing B-backer right now, so he’s not getting many opportunities to rush the passer. He’s not a terrible rusher, but he’s also not great at this point either. He’s a second year player and he may never be an elite pass rusher, but we certainly won’t ever know if he doesn’t get more pass rushing reps in practice and games.

Ā No team has the skill to do what Orlando’s asking. There’s a difference between Orlando horribly utilizing our personnel and is not having the skill set to play the 3 tite. The problem with the defense is overwhelmingly more due to bad coaching (Including fundamentals and poor utilization of the scheme)Ā than players not fitting the defensive system we run.Ā 

We have the skill sets to run the 3 tite if it were well coached and our personnelĀ probably fit that system better or just as good as any other system.Ā

well that is dereliction of duty.Ā  what about 2017?

Holy shit the last few games I’ve only been paying attention to how many players Orlando rushes and from where they come. I did not even notice they moved Ossai out of B-Backer. I’m shocked by that.

Ossai is a bad pass rusher even though he has 2 sacks all whileĀ spending 95% of his time in coverage? Ā Seems like he should be rushing the passer more given how MOTHERFUCKING EFFICIENT HE IS! Ā This just proves that Orlando is a complete dolt.

Splitting hairs on who might or might not be good as DE is sad given we'll never know. Instead we'll watch 11 guys struggle to be passable in the current scheme that obviously does not work for them

Really nice job not adjusting at all during the bye week and continuing the bs 3rd down blitzes.

Go fuck yourself Orlando, you dumb piece of shit

Just LOL at the ineptĀ full house blitz on 3rd down that gave up the easiest TD ever. Ā Fuck off Orlando.

Wide open RB on a fuxking wheel route and Ā zero tackling skillsĀ 

Ā 

what a jokeĀ 

This is brutal. Another 3rd-and-long conversion on a delayed blitz.

If you were paid in the top 10% of people in your field but performed in the bottom 10%, you'd be fired.

I think this might be the day he finally gets fired.

Coming off of a bye week, too. What complete and utter fucking mouth breather.

Who's gonna run out there and kill this fucker before end of quarter?

Fuck just glad I'm not watching live

Remember last year when our defense looked miserable coming out of the bye and we lost to Oklahoma State? What the fuck does Orlando do during bye weeks?

I like to look back and see all the ā€œwe don’t fire coaches midseasonā€ postsĀ 

It really makes the mediocrity feel goodĀ 

If he’s not gone tomorrow, everyone better start the clock on Tom. It means he doesn’t have the balls and common sense to make tough decisions.

in fairness, coverage on the crosser and the TD pass wasn't bad.Ā  Passes were spot on. Even the pass rush wasn't bad.Ā  It's a matter of milliseconds, Texas doesn't have those positive milliseconds this year

How bout fuck Todd Orlando?

The clock on Tom is already started. Jesus, this is why nothing ever changes. People can’t accept reality. Tom is looking at a pile of shit and won’t make a change. Same with his other coaches from the first season. He just pissing in everyone faces.Ā 

Get rid of this fucking fraud. It's pathetic.

He gone. Tom will be gone too if he's not careful. This is not acceptable.

Lol, his blitz design/pass rush is laughably bad. And the crosser was open by 3 yards.Ā

Sounds like he was mocking the type of shit Orlando says at his press conferences

the crosser had a Tex guy #6 in front and 2 dbs withing a couple of yards. Was a hell of a precise pass by their QB.

UT will win. KSU will fuck up on the passing game with INTs.

Another 3rd down where Jamison was unblocked but the blitz didn’t get there because he started from 15 yards away.

Why not call a blitz every play? The receivers are open either way.

4 straight first downs against warm dogshitĀ 

Skylar Thompson's career-high passing yardage was 218 against Baylor. He now has 220 and the 1st half isn't even over yet.
