Everything you need to know about FSU's defense 

Couldn't of put it better myself. Thanks!

Jimmies and Joes beat Xs and Os. I would even argue the biggest part of coaching is strength and conditioning and development. Only after that do I think you get an edge with scheme.

You both are leaving out a huge part of coaching....technique.

In college technique isn't the biggest issue in the world. If you look at just the guys on our team: Verse his technique is alright but he is an ELITE DE. Johnny Wilson isn't the best route runner, but he is ELITE. Trey Benson still struggles to read which hole to hit and when, but he is ELITE. Just get bigger, faster, and stronger guys in college and you will win 90% of the time.

Yup only when both teams have an equal amount of that does coaching and schemes really come into play. That is why the jump to the NFL is so difficult for guys. Because for 10+ years they just out muscled guys, and then when they go to the NFL it's like "oh I can't do that anymore"@@XsandNoles

Scheme is important in CFB. This isn’t the NFL and just playing a light box hoping your guys up front can win is not much of a scheme. I don’t believe Fuller will make it through another season if his defense doesn’t produce top 10-15 numbers. The defense can’t be a liability and expect to win the conference.

Thanks for the love! Glad you enjoyed it!

Haha well I'm glad that we can provide some advantages. Hopefully we can grow in the others as well. BTW I'm Kevin, Brendan is another guy.

​​​@@XsandNolesOops sorry, meant Kev! Heck you guys are both beautiful. 😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I have confidence in the top 4 tbh. Maybe not all world guys but won't be the link that breaks the chain imo

Sure and really mixing presnap looks but I don't think that changes the core of the philosophy.

@@XsandNoles cool, thanks

To be honest, that front 4 would be top 3 in the country imo

They rolled into man free a lot vs Clemson. I would imagine they would try to something similar this year but it all depends on what the teams are looking like at that time

@XsandNoles Do you think Cypress can be a lock down corner for us which will help us out alot

Yeah he has the potential to be. I didn't get to see it much in the spring but I've heard really good things out of fall camp. Only time can really tell but he's getting practice reps against some good ones

You should tell that to Kirby smart who runs as much light box as Fuller

@XsandNoles Kirby Smart makes adjustments. I've watch his defense for years. He never just continues to run the same defense all game long especially after getting gashed several times. Great defensive coordinators adjust in game and down and distance. Fuller does not. I've watch Fuller for awhile. As good as that offense was last year we could have easily won the ACC with better defensive play in bigger games

@@pound4pound380 The caliber of the second string at UGA, and the caliber of backups at FSU, haven’t been on the same planet in recent history. And when you’re talking about “making adjustments” you can only adjust to some other scheme, formation, or personnel grouping that you have extensively repped (with both starters and backups) and that you have seen your guys perform competently. If you don’t have the guys capable of playing without safety help, you don’t practice as much single-high coverage, and therefore, you lack the ability/confidence to adjust to a stout run game without making yourself highly-vulnerable in the back-end… which, by the way, is EXACTLY what the opposition is trying to coerce you into doing by running right at your light box. I highly doubt that Fuller, as a long-time coach, lacks the knowledge and ability to identify a problem and understand how to respond… however, a quick look at the roster between 2020-2022 clearly indicates that we lacked the skill to make the necessary adjustments without giving away the farm through the air. Revisiting this sentiment at the end of the year will tell us all we need to know about Fuller because he is no longer in such a lose-lose situation with the 2023 roster. If in-game adjustments neutralize potent offenses, then our recent defensive shortcomings were likely less on Fuller and more on the players… if we still struggle, with this roster and a new DB coach, then the problem is probably with Fuller. But this year is the first season where Fuller truly has enough tools to accurately grade his acumen.

No it's the smart way to utilize analytics to make the best defense you can with the players you have. That being said there's a million other variables, but saying a light box in and of itself is flawed doesn't make much sense.

@@XsandNoles Never said it was flawed but when it’s not working you have to be able to recognize that much faster than he did last year. Run blitzes and stunts would of helped at times last year IMO.

That's my biggest concern with the LSU game. They'll probably rely on deloach to spy and he didn't take the best angles last year.

Show me a defense that effectively defends a running qb while not getting weak against something else. FSU can say the same thing. My hope is LSU spies Travis with Perkins but I doubt Kelly is that dumb.

@@XsandNoles can't spy him all game long, just like we can't spy Travis all game. It's going to be a great game. The teams resemble each other so more.

1) Stop with the damn excuses. You lost. 2) Both teams are about equal and both teams have a key DL person missing. I give LSU slightest edge due to thier overall depth and coaching (Fuller will suck more against Kelly than the Tigers DC against Norvell). 31-30, Tigers. But that's the only game I have us losing for thr whole season. 11-1 AÇC Champs

@@langstondah5219 What excuses? We loss, but I've always felt LSU beat themselves. We made more mistakes vs FSU then any other loss. Tenn whipped us from go, A&M was a fluke because we had a ton of players miss the game, I blame Kelly for that loss, and UGA's depth did us in. Kelly will only continue getting better at LSU. I predict a close game that LSU wins, but it wouldn't surprise me if FSU wins.
