DMN: Gary Patterson makes it clear: TCU's secondary was 'bad' against Iowa State

[y2kFrog]

Useless. His press conferences are 110% scheissing useless.

I’m pretty sure 99% of all coaches press conferences regardless of sport are useless.

 

[Pharm Frog]

Our secondary played well against Iowa State outside of the bite on the tight end wheel

they tackled the QB well at the end of long runs except when they didn’t

 

[Big Frog II]

We were completely bamboozled by the wheel route in the SMU game and the Iowa State game.

you obviously missed last years kansas' game, and then there was ............

 

[LVH]

Our defensive ends should never allow a QB to run on our defense like Purdy did this past Saturday. He kept running to the edge right around our DEs.

 

[smufrogger]

I'd recommend to everyone that they go spend 10-15 minutes watching some of the replay and just focus on the DE play. You will be absolutely shocked... like a HS kid lining up taking snaps

My adhd kicked in overdrive during the game and he was all I could focus on from the defense. It was the craziest thing - only thing close would be watching Darius try and block in the backfield for all offensive plays.

Yeah, sadly, we seem to be bamboozled by this play or a rb out of the backfield getting open for years now.

Wow. Just wow. When you're watching the game in real time you can easily miss stuff like that just following the ball. Not only like a HS kid, but a HS kid who doesn't really know what he's supposed to be doing out there. Not sure I've ever seen a guy get more easily blocked.....over and over and over. No wonder we couldn't stop a damn thing.

Against Iowa State the problem was getting off blocks so they could never be in the right position

SMU they were in the right position but couldnt tackle worth a damn

DMN: Gary Patterson makes it clear: TCU's secondary was 'bad' against Iowa State



By Grant McGalliard

TCU head coach Gary Patterson took part in the weekly Big 12 media teleconference Monday, and the big takeaway is that he's not happy with how his secondary has performed.

The Horned Frogs gave up 436 yards of offense against Iowa State in a 49-24 loss Saturday. Brock Purdy, the Cyclones' sophomore quarterback, accounted for 349 of those, passing for 247 and running for 102 more. He also had four total touchdowns.

Despite the return of cornerback Julius Lewis to the secondary, TCU often looked lost in coverage against Iowa State. Patterson specifically called out his safeties in the teleconference, especially senior Vernon Scott.

Typical of GP to find the nearest senior and blame them for all the problems

 

[Froggy Style]

Yeah, sadly, we seem to be bamboozled by this play or a rb out of the backfield getting open for years now.

This is because we waste DE that get no pressure. We should have LB or safeties squatting in the flats, but rather have 4 DL getting no pressure so wee also have to blitz a safety and maybe a LB. unfortunately, nobody left to cover the flats.

 

[Bruce Berry]

"We didn't get anything in the (Iowa State) ballgame that we didn't work on in practice. We've gotta do a better job of that."

Post game -"they did things in the QB run game we hadn't seen before."

last year frogs had two de's who got drafted and they still couldn't cover the back out of the back field.

backs out of the back field and crossing routes.

 

[LawFrog504]

I would be perfectly fine if Gary never spoke publicly about this team ever again

 

[LawFrog504]

Gary needs to take a course on accountability. Horrific month for him

 

[notyalc]

I remember GP calling out Sewo and Sewo responded.

 

[TCUWIN]

This was my main takeaway from the article....."in this defense you have to play a lot better if you want to be really good" - GP

As opposed to that other defense where you don't really have to play well to be really good? Can we start playing that defense?

I think our offense plays that defense often.

 

[TCUWIN]

Yeah, sadly, we seem to be bamboozled by this play or a rb out of the backfield getting open for years now.

Or any use of a tight end in the passing game and any quarterback run! Other than that...
