@jayballer67 When you would have like Eliot to teach these players his system? During spring practice? Oh wait, we didn’t have a spring practice this year. During fall camp? Oh wait, that got stopped and started multiple times because of Covid, legislation, and the NCAA.
Opt outs, Covid, and injuries this season resulted in KU starting 5 guys on defense in their first or second year of college football including a couple of guys playing a different position last night.
These guys are inexperienced and limited in what they can do in practice because of Covid restrictions and there’s only so much film study and chalk boards can help with in learning schemes. Eventually players have to get on the field and actually practice to get the hang of what’s going on with these schemes and responsibilities.
When the DC is forced to play a lot of players before they’re ready to play or playing them out of position, and have limited practices because of Covid issues.
When a position group is isolated because of exposure, that also means you can’t run a full 11 on 11 drills at practice which also hurts development. I’m not a big DJ Eliot fan, but there’s so much stuff working against him this year that’s beyond his control.
There’s also a big difference between firing a position coach and firing a coordinator midseason because a position coach doesn’t affect the scheme a team runs. Firing Eliot also means having to teach a new defensive scheme mid season which would just make the defense even worse.
Look plain and simple , see if you can comprehend this I doubt but MAYBE you got your thoughts for whatever are they wrong probably but there your thoughts good for you. you like making excuses - -GREAT you run with that. Let’s see he could of instilled this like oh I dunno - - LAST SEASON. - -not all these kids are freshmen as you wanna make them out to be. - We have Seniors blowing coverage and guys catching touchdown passes with no defenders within 10 yards of them more then once - that are Seniors - - Mayberry is perfect example. There are players that are upper classmen that play like crap out of position to make plays that’s on your defense , and if that’s a position Coach or whatever - -they need to be held responsible for that. – Very easily could of - -should of as you say taught these players LAST season.
Oh wait - - maybe he did - - maybe they just slow learners, ya thats it. - Look I’m not wasting my time getting into a pissing contest with you over this. You got what ever the hell you think , I got mine that’s that. - -Your a guiy that likes to make excuses - - you take and run with that. I am not buying it. I’m not asking for this defense if that’s what you call it - -I’m not asking them to move Mountains - -just a mole hill – little ol mole hill - - show us SOMETHING - -ANYTHING. - -
Opposition RB’s are running through our Defensive line making holes a 98 year old man in a wheelchair could gain 10 yards a touch - -it’s beyond pathetic - hell I could see where a down even 2 maybe just got beat - -but this constant - -but again you hang onto that theory - -Good for you - others aren’t buying it take your sales pitch some where else - -ELLIOT SHOULD BE GONE PERIOD.
All schools have had COVID issues , ALL schools have had players that weren’t ready having to play and a lot of them out of position - a lot of Schools have had limited film study, - like I said I’m done with you on this - -find your debate on things some where else I’m not buying the BS thanks - -have a great day
