Can we have him back?

Well, we curently have one of the worst defenses in the country. Our front seven have to load up to stop the run, but even then, our secondary often has to come up and make the stop. So Play action is absolutely murderous. Plus, our D-line barely gets ANY penetration on ANY O-line. :tickedoff:BigSkyBears said:MrTitleist said:You can have Marty English.. send us a box of cookies and he's yours.

I'm surprised he isn't doing well there. Is he still recruiting? He did well at UNC when he was here.

He blitzes no more han twice a game, even when proven effective when putting pressure on the QB, not to mention the D-linemen rarely, if ever, get ANY penetration into the offensive backfield, so the other team's QB has all day to throw the ball. The only way that they can stop the run, is by stacking up front to stop it, which includes the secondary. So yeah, his play calling on Defense sucks.BigSkyBears said:So what happened? Did he lose his recruiting touch? His play calling on defense sucks?
True. Or even our old D-coach. You know, the one that had our D as the #4 defense in the nation back in 2006?Fullback41 said:I am an English fan, don't get me wrong, it appeared as if he was the only disciplinarians on the old coaching staff. I like him as a LB coach. But Rocky Long could get more out of our defense, that was a great hire by SDSU, just saying.

I had really anticipated him to step in Breske's shoes and the D wouldn't miss a beat, but that hasn't been the case.
MrTitleist said:I'm watching Marty's teacher this year live in action.. his defense is ferocious and doesn't screw around. They're forcing turnovers like crazy. I'm watching Wyoming's defense from afar online when I get the opportunity and I can tell that the personnel in place isn't capable of getting the job done. In my opinion they don't have the killer instinct of a Breske defense. The game against San Diego State could have been won had we pressured a hobbled QB, but instead, we dropped into coverage anticipating them to throw it long. It was easy to pick a part the D at that point when the QB had all day to throw. The only time the Poke D really went for the throat is when they had Lindley backed up against the endzone and the D brought the wood and hit him hard. That should have been the mantra for the rest of the game. We don't have the horses on the d-line to consistently rush a four man front, but that's exactly what we're doing. Marty is/was a fantastic LB coach, but I have concerns about his ability as a coordinator. I had really anticipated him to step in Breske's shoes and the D wouldn't miss a beat, but that hasn't been the case.
