Hey, Cocks, tell me about your defense
 

Pirate fan here. I was as shocked as many of you to see TAMU shred your defense last Thursday night. I think the outcome of our game will hinge on whether or not we put up 30+ points against you because our defense, though better than the one you saw last time we were down there, is also capable of giving up a lot of points (see Marshall game last season). So, how much of Thursday's debacle is due to a) personnel losses; b) bad scheme; c) poor coaching; d) poor effort; or e) just an unexplainable bad performance? I know there were some losses in addition to Clowney. Are the new guys that inexperienced? No offense, but the defense looked pretty lost out there, in addition to poor tackling. Were these issues to result of being totally surprised by a TAMU offense that seemed not to skip a beat without Johnny Football, or are they more fundamental than that?

If you watched the A&M game then you know as much as we do.

Ahhhh yes, a rhetorical question thread started by an opposing teams fan.

Re: Hey, Cocks, tell me about your defense
 

I'd chalk it up to lack of leadership, lack of understanding what the hell to do, lack of toughness, lack of fundamentals and lack of Clowney.

We lacked a defense Thursday. Hoping they show up Saturday, but I have no idea what will happen.

Re: Hey, Cocks, tell me about your defense
 

We don't have one yet.

Re: Hey, Cocks, tell me about your defense
 

We didn't want to expose our defensive game-plan for the ECU game, so we mostly played team managers and male cheerleaders on D against TAMU. We got y'all right where we want y'all!



:wink:

You just need to be glad that you don't have to play us this week. What we did last week was not an anomaly, you will see other big named teams get pushed around by The Aggies, USC will be fine. Remember you are still ECU...

I think Lorenzo wanted to see if a new defensive flavor would work, turns out he selected swiss cheese. Fortunately, he still knows how to produce some fine aged gouda! :thumbsup:

Re: Hey, Cocks, tell me about your defense
 

Does ECU have anyone as good as Ricky Seals-Jones?

Re: Hey, Cocks, tell me about your defense
 

We will smack ECU just because we can.

Re: Hey, Cocks, tell me about your defense
 

no need to be salty to visitors just because you're mad we lost week one.

Re: Hey, Cocks, tell me about your defense
 

Yes.

Re: Hey, Cocks, tell me about your defense
 

Hell our own staff is trying to figure it out....WAS in some 3-4 D that they had no business in a week ago....Heard them yap preseason how they were doing well, blah blah blah....Showed up on the field how they didn't know jack.

THis week may be in a 5-5-1 HAHAHAH!

Re: Hey, Cocks, tell me about your defense
 

Really??? Who is this 6'5" 230lb 5 star receiver??

Re: Hey, Cocks, tell me about your defense
 

Come on OP.. Enlighten us on who this unheard of monster is.

Do you also have a Speedy Noil, Malcolm Kennedy, and Kenny Hill? Maybe have a Myles Garrett somewhere hidden on your D too? How about a CB like Armani Watts that will bust a receiver's ass when he comes across the middle?

Look guy, good luck and I hope you don't get embarrassed, but you do realize this is still an SEC team you are facing that had 11 wins each of the last 3 years.

Re: Hey, Cocks, tell me about your defense
 

We'll beat you soundly.

Re: Hey, Cocks, tell me about your defense
 

I can't for the life of me figure out where ECU fans get their bravado from. What could they possibly boast about??

Re: Hey, Cocks, tell me about your defense
 

A&M is bad ass and 1 of the top 5 offenses in the nation.

We will beat you(ECU) by 3 or 4 TDs

Re: Hey, Cocks, tell me about your defense
 

Everyone saw what you guys did to NC Central, and believe me, the nation is scared of ECU.
