Mark Snyder's innovative 2-9 defense

[Bulls Are We]

I've watched alot of football over the years and can honestly say I have never seen that used during the normal course of a game. Maybe a few times to defend a last second Hail Mary play.

There is a good reason why you never see defenses do something that stupid.

I think Snyder should lose his job over this. His playcalling on 3rd and long cost us too many games this year.

It's the prevent prevent defense

they were only rushing two or three the whole game, dropping everyone else into coverage.......for most of the game it worked, didnt want to give up home run ball and they didnt.....our qb, special teams let us down not our coaches

^ i would consider that last pass a homerun pass... might not have been for a TD, but it got them in position to win.

rushing 2 is never a good idea when a team is on your side of the field.

Notre dame played a sugar bowl against the gators and dropped 8 and 9 into coverage. Early days of the fun and gun, and thoroughly confused the qb.

We also were poor in making adjustments before the snap.

When Smith same 3 pass rushers he went up to the line and changed the play. Every time he did this it was a running play between the tackles that gained good yardage. I can't believe that no one in the booth, or on the sidelines, didn't see that.

you mean it prevents us from preventing a first down?

It prevents the prevent defense from defending. Prevent defense is already a bad idea, the whole it prevents you from winning adage. The prevent prevent defense isn't like multiplying negatives, it's like adding them, so it's twice as bad (considering they are equally as bad, which I assume because it's two prevents).

Uh, the defense kept USF in most of the close games, you are looking on the wrong side of the ball to start firing people.
