re: New evidence that Grantham's D was too complicated?

Hell, on any given 3rd down play, half the D would be looking to the sideline or bouncing around in formation as the ball was being snapped. Whether that was willful disobedience or honestly being lost, it goes back to the guy calling the defensive plays.

Idk he "retired". To be honest, you'd know more than I would it sounds like. Fwiw, I think he got tired of going deep in the playoffs and never winning it all.

SMDH. Terrible. Griffin was great last year.

The New Carrollton Hcoach was the DC under Ben Scott back in the eighties from what I have learned, what I have been told is that two of the "other" finalist were the recently resigned Thomson HC and the Griffin HC.

I have some family in that area and graduated from WGC or now UWG back in 92.

Every. Single. One.

I do not jest. Heck, the plays on the sideline were often funnelled to one player (I believe Herrera was it last year). If that one player is flummoxed by it - and Herrera often was - then the whole blasted defense is flummoxed.

My wife the non-football fan was watching our defense, noticed the wholesale confusion again and again (I'm thinking it was the Auburn game), and said, "You need to fire your defensive coach".

It was that obvious to her, it pretty much should be that obvious to everyone.

deeprig: I'm not an expert on defensive scheming and I never played football growing up, so I don't know what's right and what's not. I'm just a fan of the game and watch a lot of it.

With that said, what I saw on the field from the comfort of my couch was confusion, disorganization, misplacement, misalignment, and big plays given up time and time again (including a ton of 3rd and 4th down conversions).

I don't know if what was going on was normal or not, but it didn't appear to be normal to me. I didn't see that kind of commotion in the defensive backfield in any other games I've been watching, either in the NFL or in college. That doesn't prove anything, I know, because I could just have been more observant of our team and what they were doing, but it seemed rather obvious to me that something wasn't right.

Since you seem to be defensive about the criticism thrown at CTG, I'd like it if you could explain to me why what I saw was just my ignorant observation that was not informed by truth. I would like to see a defense of our defense and CTG, specifically how my observations (which appear to be shared by many here) are not well-informed and why criticism of CTG and his defense coaching/scheming is misplaced.

My dad takes me to the Carrolton stadium every time we go back. Wish my mom hadn't stole me out the south and I still lived there. My grandpa that lived in Villa Rica just died so I will probally never go back, sad. Should go open my papa's shop back up down on bowdin street.
