We need twenty Fire Cosh threads.

He is worthless.  Pitiful.  Horrible.  He sucks at everything that has to do with coordinating a defense.

He needs to be fired.  Anyone who says otherwise is a freaking clown.

Until both the recruiting and the coaching improve, get used to it.

We keep rolling DITR out there to try and stop world class athletes.   Sorry, it ain't gonna happen.

A combination of better coaching, better recruiting and better facilities needs to happen sooner rather than later, otherwise it's just going to continue.

Look at the D-Line before you crucify the secondary.  Doesn't matter if you're rough ridin' Alabama if the QB has time to check his god damn email on his phone before throwing the ball, you're going to get torched.

It's not going to change until they actually step up to the plate and start recruiting, and they get a new defensive coaching staff. 

Part of recruiting is setting aside the hyper conservative ways and accepting the inconvenience of significant facilities improvements, that's one thing that Snyder failed to embrace, and that's ONE reason why K-State struggles on the recruiting trail despite the hodge podge of improvements to Vanier over the last 5 years.

Our d-line isn't great, but muuuuch better than last year.  imho the biggest difference is we can no longer man up w/ corners to bump and run, coupled with our safeties inability to help over the top.  Therefore, we sit back in zone and can't bring backers or safeties via a blitz.  Our safety play is absolutely atrocious.

all this might be true, but its just not working to sit back in zone all day and let these teams with accurate QB's and big WRs eat us alive.  i mean, are we really risking much sending some blitzers and forcing more bad throws and perhaps rough up the QB a bit? is our secondary going to get beat any worse if we do this?  its at least time to try something different or mix it up more.  was really frustrating to watch our 4 down linemen do absolutely nothing all game.

Its hard to blitz against teams that spread 4 or 5 wide, this is true. Also difficult when we make a real effort to keep enough in the box to stop the run (which we've done well).

Is it just overall impossible to stop offenses in today's college football? Seems like teams are putting up 500 yards no matter what unless your stacked with NFL talent like LSU, Bama, OU, etc.

I think so. Really if you have a decent offense, you'll win 10 games a year if you can hold teams to 400 yards and 30 points a game.

True, but if you take a less talented team and blitz too much more often than not it will come down to bite you.

Until the last two drives our defense played decent, its just the offense gave up the turnovers and gave OSU the ball inside the 5 yard line twice. Then when the offense gets going and takes back the lead, OSU scores on 2 plays in 29 seconds.

Again, it was a team loss, neither unit made enough plays to win and both made too many mistakes.

Say what you will about the players not being up to par (that's also at least partially Cosh's fault), but the real problem has to be at least partially due to scheme and play calling. Go back and look at the stats from 2009 when Vic was the actual D Cord. The players were equally shitty, if not worse. The offense wasn't eating up 40 min per game. Yet, the defense still wasn't letting every team in the confy set records (2010 everyone set rushing records on us, 2011 it's passing records).

People seem to think that Cosh is doing what he can with what he's got, but I think he's just bad at his job.

Fair point. But this year's Big 12 offenses (yards (http://www.cfbstats.com/2011/leader/25354/team/offense/split01/category10/sort01.html), points (http://www.cfbstats.com/2011/leader/25354/team/offense/split01/category09/sort01.html)) are much better than in 09 (yards (http://www.cfbstats.com/2009/leader/25354/team/offense/split01/category10/sort01.html), points (http://www.cfbstats.com/2009/leader/25354/team/offense/split01/category09/sort01.html)). The offensive numbers being put up in this league this year are simply ridiculous, but I agree allowing back to back 500 yard passers is pretty bad.

compared to their overall average, we "held" osu to about 100 yards less rushing and then let them have 100+ yards more passing.

A&M is 12th in the nation in passing offense (304ypg), 19th in rushing (216ypg).  I see us fairing about the same (though I think A&M will run more on us) as OSU...shutting the run down and letting A&M throw all over us.  We also have to account for the QB this game, haven't really had to since MU.

we get destroyed, absolutely, 100% destroyed in the 10/15yd x 10/15yd window between the LB's and Safeties.  I mean we just get f'ing bent over and owned.  EVERY. SINGLE. GAME.  The safeties are either stretched too far outside the hashes (because they aren't fast enough to get over the top of a go route and have to cheat) or the LB's aren't getting the depth they need (because AB is just awful in pass coverage to begin with and they are so focused on stopping the run they bite on most play action).

I was reflecting on the loss last night and the similiaities to the OU loss. When I look at the wins this year, and we all were so  :excited: about them - however NOW looking at the teams we beat - Baylor has fallen off and Tech is in a downward spiral. Miami is just a name these days and the rest of the teams, I feel we should have beat. In looking at the season thus far, I am not sure if we are all that good. Dont get me wrong, I am thrilled to be where we are, but a 0-3 November is a strong possibility if we continue to perform like last night on the defense.

To Dax's point (and it's a damned good one) as long as we dont have quality recruits, get used to this amount of wins and be content with being around 4th place in the league year in and year out. It's a bitter pill to swallow, but that's what we have/will have as long as OBz is here. I'll reserve raising my expectations until after the waters are officially calmed.  :blindfold:

I doubt ATM will quit gouging us over the middle the way OSU seemed to strangely do.  Can we count on a LOckett return AND a pick 6 yet again to stay in the game?  Doubt it but who knows at home.

Recruting has to change.  Or this will be the best year under Snyder.

The pick 6 by chapman was about the silliest looking running out of a corner I have ever seen. what does he run a 4.7? It just looked really weird and slow.

We seem to have a lot of issues in the zone coverage transition between our linebackers and safeties. Maybe _FAN could verify this, or is there really anything that can be done about it?

I was reflecting on the loss last night and the similiaities to the OU loss. When I look at the wins this year, and we all were so  :excited: about them - however NOW looking at the teams we beat - Baylor has fallen off and Tech is in a downward spiral. Miami is just a name these days and the rest of the teams, I feel we should have beat. In looking at the season thus far, I am not sure if we are all that good. Dont get me wrong, I am thrilled to be where we are, but a 0-3 November is a strong possibility if we continue to perform like last night on the defense.

you got crucified because you are Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!). you can break down any teams schedule and find flaws with their w's.

we are 7-2. period.

A&M does a lot of strange/dumb things.  Also, their offense started inside our 5 yard line twice.

we get destroyed, absolutely, 100% destroyed in the 10/15yd x 10/15yd window between the LB's and Safeties.  I mean we just get f'ing bent over and owned.  EVERY. SINGLE. GAME.  The safeties are either stretched too far outside the hashes (because they aren't fast enough to get over the top of a go route and have to cheat) or the LB's aren't getting the depth they need (because AB is just awful in pass coverage to begin with and they are so focused on stopping the run they bite on most play action).  



I don't know why teams bother to do anything different. It is really quite pitiful how open the middle of the field is.

Thats no joke. The whole secondary is just out of sync. I'm just on board the fire Cosh bandwagon now.

Say what you will about the players not being up to par (that's also at least partially Cosh's fault), but the real problem has to be at least partially due to scheme and play calling. Go back and look at the stats from 2009 when Vic was the actual D Cord. The players were equally shitty, if not worse. The offense wasn't eating up 40 min per game. Yet, the defense still wasn't letting every team in the confy set records (2010 everyone set rushing records on us, 2011 it's passing records).

People seem to think that Cosh is doing what he can with what he's got, but I think he's just bad at his job.

Fair point. But this year's Big 12 offenses (yards (http://www.cfbstats.com/2011/leader/25354/team/offense/split01/category10/sort01.html), points (http://www.cfbstats.com/2011/leader/25354/team/offense/split01/category09/sort01.html)) are much better than in 09 (yards (http://www.cfbstats.com/2009/leader/25354/team/offense/split01/category10/sort01.html), points (http://www.cfbstats.com/2009/leader/25354/team/offense/split01/category09/sort01.html)). The offensive numbers being put up in this league this year are simply ridiculous, but I agree allowing back to back 500 yard passers is pretty bad.

We've also given up at least 575 yards in 3 of the last 4 games.

There is something wrong with the scheme when you get beat in the same mannor again and again

The past two weeks were very bad defensively. How we do against aTm will say a lot.

I agree, but also think our defense matches up better against all three remaining teams than it has the last 2 weeks. Snyder has historically always struggled defending spread offenses that pass the ball quickly. A&M throws it around a lot too, but from what I've seen of them, they are more prone to have 5 and 7 step drops than either OU or OSU does. Our DL aren't good enough to disrupt things against a 3 step drop, and when we blitz, we show blitz way too early and the opposing offense throws it where the blitzer comes from.

With that said, if our DL can't put pressure on Tannahill Saturday, he can torch you pretty good.
