Johansen

His defense might actually be worse than last year's. How is this possible? Players are out of place, bad technique, can't shed blocks.

He's been outcoached 2 weeks in a row.

I thought his system was supposed to be simple.

The constant is Schiano.

Maybe he is an imposter?

I refuse to believe it's talent. Players don't know WTF they're doing. Like what's going on? Even if he did coach at the fcs level, you'd at least need to have a defense that executes the right way to be a top 10 defense at that level.

Allison the LB is obviously undersized but to be an fcs all American you'd at least think he'd had outstanding football IQ. He's constantly in the wrong position. It just doesn't make sense.

Keli should dump Schiano now and make Johansen the interim HC for the rest of season
This way we'll not get our hopes up after Greg gets the boot and expect nothing but misery until the season ends.

Actually, in the BC game there was a huge improvement as soon as they changed LBs. All of a sudden in the 2nd half he finally benched #41 Allison (I don’t think he played another snap the rest of the game), and we limited BC to just 1 TD (8 points), the 78-yard 1-play breakdown. We actually stopped them every other drive in the second half.

#16 and #2 played, I’m not sure if either of them played alongside Allison before bc I was so focused on him bc of bewilderment. But the D noticeably improved stopping the run, containing the QB, and defending WRs over the middle once the LB switch was made. It gives small hope for some future games if we can stop the turnovers on O and they don’t put #41 back in.

Mike Broadbent said on the youtube that this D is a Schiano scheme. Nothing they did week one was what J did at ND. he should post here

Agreed. I pointed that out in the game thread. As soon as walker enters the game it has a noticeable effect. Key tackles and a pick.

mind boggling transfers in my opinion.

if a guy from Drake could play, Iowa or Iowa State would've found them already

Thank you. Moses Walker (#2) came in and completely changed things and made seversl great plays including that last last takeaway. At least I saw a coach making changes that worked. In the end it was the offense who lost this game even with that reckless last td pass and the stupid 2 pass rusher prevent.

1 sack and 2 picks in the half.. I guess he didnt flash in practice.

Re #41 there are two possibilities:

1 Johansen is a bad judge of talent.
2 Pre-season, when little hitting and flying around and barking can impress, led to the decision to use him.

I'm hoping it's 2 as that can be remedied once actual play is seen. Arguably #41 was as large a part in umass and BC first half success as anyone. Things radically changed when he was out.

Now Morris was only marignally better and should not be playing.

Walker had a carrer game and earned time. BUT McClary and Archie need to be in there just to see if increased atghlticism could get in the way of someone and not create huge holes.

RU needs to act like a big time program and can his *** now…there’s no improvement coming. No chop bull **** is saving this season. 2006 was 20 years ago…enough!

Is it fault on talent? He other after the portal closed.

judging who to play I agree

Same for this guy who played at Drake.

 

[Bueller]

This defense is the worst I've seen at RU. Slow/lost/weak - maybe too much helmets and shorts in camp. I see opponents run right past RU defenders like they are potted plants. I see some of same stuff on offense and OLs actually "waddle" around the field like brubsers who at Twinkies all summer

#16 is Jesse Ofurie. He's not a linebacker.

Does this surprise anyone ? Coordinators are willing puppets who come here for the pay raise and Schiano is a control freak like no other.

Being new, the DC is probably only allowed to turn the meeting room projectors on and off while Schiano’s taped ‘teaching’ LOL is played through the room AV.

That's why he's my profile picture. NEVER again.

I've actually wondered about your profile pic

Did you sit in section 107 at one time?
