Great comments re our entire approach to the game under CM- play not to lose. Our DB’s and safeties generally play a soft zone keeping the receiver in front of them. We play 10 + yards off the other team’s wide outs - short out routes open all day. We seldom play the thrown ball - we wait until the catch is made in front of us and go for the tackle. Our man defense is not good. I watched the Pitt- Syracuse game last night and it was interesting how much more effective Syracuse’s DB 's were v Pitt than our DB’s - they played tight and played the ball. I cannot believe there is that much of a talent gap between Syracuse personnel and our players. Again this discussion gets back to what is your approach to the game. CM goes for chunk offensive plays with very little rhythm or ball possession game plan approach on offense. Our D units are often on the field too long . His approach generally on D is to give up long drives hoping the other team makes mistakes. This approach can work generally in the MAC with weaker competition but not against stronger teams esp OCC games.
