Make Freddie Roach a co-DC

I don’t mind Golding staying, clearly they know the issues and hopefully with what we saw last year that it will not be a theme. Out of all the issues we had last year, tackling was the one that bothered me the most.

Blocking and Tackling
Posted on 1/21/20 at 11:15 am to biggsc
it just keeps ringing in my head. hearing cns say, bama missed 25 tackles against lsu. just how many of those 25 let lsu get a 3rd and long for a first down, argh! fix the freaking tackling!

crimsontater - if he does stay at dc. then he has to emphasize tackling. plus find more speed at ilb. it simply does not matter what a player knows, if he's to dang slow to get there.
Lee's problem is NOT speed. Yes faster will always help but the issue is quickness and where he makes first contact with the ball carrier. His job is to attack the crease down hill. All seasom long we saw Lee making first contact with the ball carrier 3 yards past the LoS. This suggests 3 possible issues.
1 - he is afraid of attacking the RB at the LoS and would prefer to jump on his back and drag him down. This is not the issue with Lee.
2 - he is not strong enough to shoot the crease with large O-linemen in the area or quick enough to slice thru the crease. Strong is not a concern / quick needs to improve.
3 - The D-line is causing Lee to have to run around them to the ball carrier rather than shooting the crease. When you have to step back to run around rather than attacking the crease down hill, you end up meeting the ball carrier in our backfield rather than theirs.

Mayhaps you did not see Lee get smoked by Shea Patterson in the bowl game? He is not even average speed for high level LB.

Lee is not a 4-3 MLB - too slow. We signed him to play 3-4 Mike.
3-4 Mike LB is not supposed to be able to run with the likes of a Shea Patterson in space or on the edge. The 3-4 Mike is supposed to light you up down hill. The Will is the one that is supposed to run sideline to sideline (Mosely style) and that guy is Harris.

Lee's 2019 "speed" problem is 2-fold, IMO. I think he's entirely too bulky/stiff and needs orders of magnitude more joint flexibility and range of motion. Secondly, he spent all of 2019 thinking, rather than reacting. If an ILB is "thinking", he's a step or 2 slow for the entirety of the play. However, the latter problem ought to be MUCH better in 2020. The flexibility thing - we'll see.
I do mildly disagree though, as I do think a 3-4 Mike very much needs to be sideline to sideline, given that Will is often occupied in coverage.

Agreed on both of y'all's points to a degree but it can’t be related to just the running game . Numerous times this year , Lee was asked to cover RBs, TEs, and occasional crossing WR, and he diagnosed the play fine but was a step or two slow in coverage/chasing . Sometimes the other team can scheme that on running downs and we are just caught in that situation but other times , he was exposed on 3rd and passing situations and that is a coaching problem or we had no other options . Would have liked to see Kaho given some of those opportunities in coverage although he was “eaten up” against the run against USC and I think that contributed to his lack of playing time

I really do believe it was no other signal calling options.

Thank you! He got beat to the sideline almost every game by a RB while in man coverage.

Would be fun to find out who does them

Sure, that would be fantastic. That package rarely shows up in a mid 4-star true freshman. Finding that in a 5-star freshman would still be a really big deal.

When does spring practice start?

Georgia fans are my first guess and then LSU fans.

Not to mention, he can’t change directions very well. He shouldn’t have been asked to cover anyone man to man.
