Great Grizzly Defenses!

[PlayerRep]

These were some of the Griz defensive stats last year. What would you like this year's D to do better, or what do you think they will do better?

Held CP to 20 points, with only 6 in the 2d half. Held CP to 380 yards of Total Offense, 330 rushing and 56 passing, and 4.3 average per play. Got 1 turnover. Made CP punt 7 times. 8/23 third down conversions. Got 2 sacks again. Scored a safety.

PR, 330 yards rushing means the clock is running; it means the defense is tired; Chris Brown big plays! Your stats don't tell the story! Consistency is the key! You saw the past few games! Don't get all statistcy on everyone!

Stats sometimes don't tell much of the story, but these do. Chris Brown's big run was early in the game. The defense held up quite well. The lack of offensive production was tougher on the defense than defending 330 yards of rushing.

These were the Griz drives in the second half. That is horrible. Didn't pick up 4th and 1 on last drive.

3-8 1:27
6-22 1:08
2-5 0:36
3-7 0:42
8-59 2:09
7-39 1:39
6-27 2:19

Chris Brown ran for 2 yards on the last drive. He was 2-5 passing for 17 yards.

Look, I will make my posts and use stats if I want. And perhaps you can concentrating on make comments that make sense. The defense was tired because CP rushed for 330, while overlooking that the UM offense has the ball for less than 10 minutes and had 2 second half drives slightly over 2 minutes.

I said "if the offense can sustain a drive..." Don't go all lawyerly! You know damn well that Cal Poly dominated the clock! Defense was tired! Offense inefficient! Come on! You saw the game! You love pulling stats out of you butt!

Yes, I saw the game, looked at the stats, talked to some coaches, and talked to a few players. I don't agree that the defense worn down. CP averaged about 3 yards per play in the second half. That's not an indication that he D wore down. You're just making up BS that doesn't have any support. Stop it, or you will be no. 3 on the list.

Minutes PR!

59 to 41 minutes. That is one long game.

 

[PlayerRep]

CP averaged 5.8 per play last season.

The only stat that mattered in that game was the D couldn't make a single tackle when they needed one most

Holding the rush yards under 300 would be great. Nothing against Ty, was a servicable DC and a great postiions coach just he is not here anymore, it is done so no point in playing this silly game over and over about last year this MSU stats higher here or there etc that. Kind of getting old PR.

Look, I am not the one bringing up TG. I am almost always discussing defense and Big Sky conference stats. It's people like you who keep bringing up TG. Yes, it is getting old that people like you keep bringing up TG, as like you say, he is gone.

Week 3:

Football statistics are so shitty. Always take them with a grain of salt, as they are typically a disgrace to the scientific definition of statistics.

The big sky is so damn weak anymore I don't think we can get a good idea of the quality of our defense over the last couple years. The only team to do anything in the postseason has been EWU. And I don't care about the excuse of "b-b-b-but there are prolific offenses in the big sky" yeah jack shit. The only good offense has been EWU and that has been proven in postseason play.

As far as this year, I think holding Aaron Bailey to 8 rushing yards is really f**** impressive, and a sign of a strong defense and scheme.

Just seeing if you're paying attention! Yeah, talked to the players, coaches...blah, blah, blah! Come on, you are about as insider as anyone here!

The only stat that mattered to me was the O couldn't make a single first down when they needed one most.

 

[rocklobster]

The point of this thread was to compare how this defense might compare to past defenses and past DCs! Nothing else! Can we have some pontificating on that, and not on how smart we think we are?! :roll:

I agree. The guy ran for 1,300 yards last season, against generally stout MVFC defenses.

The game I saw, the D was on the field last and had a chance to win the game but simply couldn't make a tackle.
One of the most frustrating series in recent WAgriz history. And about once a month since, I like to take that frustration out on egriz whenever someone "doesn't" bring up TG's spectacular D vs CP.

I actually thought last year was about as good as I've seen the Griz' D play against the triple-option, Poly or anybody else. People love to blast Ty and the Griz' D for that last drive, but, the fact is, they forced Cal Poly to line up and kick a 50-yard FG on a colder than normal September night, and in a pretty good rain. The kid made the kick of his life as time expired. Hats off to him. With that exact same drive, in the same conditions, forcing a 50-yard FG as time expires, the Griz probably win 9 out of 10 times. Like I said, the kid from Poly, that will probably be the biggest play of his entire life. Good for him. But a miracle kick doesn't mean the Griz' D played poorly or Ty called a bad game.

The D made lots of tackles and defended passes on the last drive. A 37 yard drive in 11 plays, I believe. Anyone who thinks the D caused the loss, by focusing on anything including the last drive, doesn't have a clue about the game of football, in my view.

We lost. Time for some payback. The end.

"Forced"? You said "force" twice. The D didn't force a long field goal. That would imply they could stop CP.
The clock was the only thing that "forced" CP to take a long FG

Back to OP. Great Griz Ds. I was not a fan of Paulsen and his clone TG. I will take Breske/Semore any day

 

[grizfan406]

It is funny how we all get nervous about cal poly when the Griz record vs them is 15-4 all time.
Many factors play in to this: like they have won the last two games, and previous game griz won on last second blocked fieldgoal so they always play Griz tough. But I wonder if the triple option brings back nightmares against Delaware,GSU and Wofford? Any other team that we have a 15-4 advantage over Griz fans feel pretty damn comfortable against.

Agree but what are they4-2? 4-3 against us recently. They scare me because they either have beaten us or the games are too close for comfort in the last 5-6 years.

All true.....
But, somethin tells me out current DC won't go into prevent when smacking them in the mouth has been working

Really? Because the game I saw the D wouldn't have even BEEN on the field last if the O had managed to get one damned first down.

Agreed. That maligned "D" put the Griz in the drivers seat with that safety....the "O" failed in that game. Miserably. Not the D.
