Duce Robinson = Weegie Thompson.

W manz. Subbed. Last ball was crazy too lmao.

Great job

Can’t hear the war chant without hearing HOOOOOOMOOOOOOOOSEXUALSSSSSS

FSU did not go 13-0 in 2023. They went 13-1. What the Orange Bowl proved is that one program is built to compete for championships. The other had a good year.

What went wrong? They lost a bunch of games.

do you see Florida State rebounding to make at least a bowl game? I feel like having a bad season (even in pro sports) sometimes isn't the worst thing ever.

13-1

Lol

13-1 … get it right

Weak shit. Recruiting hasn’t been good and you’re not developing players. End of story

Terrific quantitative approach to answering this burning question in so many Noles fan's minds. THANK YOU and GREAT JOB!

Got our Quarterback???🤣🤣 Last month he got BEAT OUT at BC by the backup so he quit. Shows how Sorry & desperate FSU is

Thank you for this! Excellent content as always

long story short we had No Leaders! and they just wanted that bag!

Bottomline is you win in the trenches. No QB on earth is fixing what happened if we have the same line. Our o line was like wet paper and our d line had ZERO moves. Yes you need a QB that can do the basics, namely make a quick decision but I think the staff is going to put him in good positions do just that. No 5 step drops. Every play needs to start with RPO, then the progressions come very easily with the open space. It all needs to happen within the blink of an eye. It will be gimmicky but thats how we score a lot of points

As a Cuse fan living in Tally, I can't explain how annoyed I am that we didn't get a game this year 😞

You shouldn't build a roster through the portal. I think the portal's best use is to plug roster holes. Churn the bottom of the roster while developing your own stars.

😂

The coach is a fraud and after Jordan Travis's leg split in half it was all over. Such a tragedy what happened to JT.

I relish in FSU's demise this year. They spent a full year pouting about their CFP snub and throwing a tantrum like a spoiled 4yo about being in the ACC. This catastrophe of a season is exactly what they deserve. And I hope they lose their lawsuit as badly as they lost on the field this season.

They deserve this. After the absolute stinker that they put up against Georgia, they deserve this equally pathetic season. Crimes against football.

Appreciate you taking time out of your journey to Mordor to make a video. Big fan

I'm late to this but i enjoy the breakdown of this. I saw so much wrong with this team that it was painful to watch. Wrs dropping balls, giving up on routes, not blocking. Rbs missing holes, dropping passes, and fumbling. Offensive line looking like they never blocked before. Qbs holding on to the ball too long. Defensive line getting pushed 5 yards off the ball, loafing, lining up incorrectly, no counter or recovery moves when pass rushing. Lbs playing on their heels, playing the wrong gaps, lacking physically of traditional FSU backers. Safetys miscommunicating, slow to react, missing open field tackles. Corners covering the wrong guys, giving up on run defending. TEs dropped catches, bullied in the run game, and looking lost.

Team was too funny, They tried to blame DJ and then when he was injured the team went down south bad. DJ was trying to make plays and that O-Line were just Swiss cheese 😂

Alright, the guy is signed, he's our QB. HAVE to start pronouncing the young man's last name correctly.

SDSU fan here. I love the channel and the breakdowns you guys provide. I know Tony White and the 335 very well as he was with Rocky Long at SDSU from 2009 until he left for ASU with Danny Gonzales in 2017 to coach under Herm Edwards, an SDSU alum, who saw the defenses Rocky was putting up at SDSU. Dino Babers is friends with Rocky and wanted Rocky or one of his disciples to be his DC at Syracuse so he hired Zach Arnett from SDSU. Arnett was then hired a few weeks later by Mike Leach at Miss St as DC. Leach loved Rocky's defense after going against it a few times and wanted a DC to run it. Babers then turned to Tony. It's probably best to rewind go back to beginnings of the 335. In the early 80's Rocky Long and Joe Lee Dunn coached together at New Mexico. They weren't having much success on defense so Dunn (the DC) and Long (DB coach) played with alternative concepts that allowed lesser athletes to be successful on defense via controlled chaos. Dunn had success with it and took it to Miss St with Jackie Sherrill. When Rocky was DC at Oregon St in the early 90's he took what Dunn had and added his twist of even more pressure and lots of cover 0. Rocky was then hired by Bob Toledo to be DC at UCLA from 96-97 where he recruited Tony White. IIRC UCLA only lost one game in 97. Rocky then went to be HC at UNM but he has always been his DC wherever he has been HC. Rocky hired Tony at UNM and then brought him with him to SDSU. The defense came about because Rocky and Dunn could not get the type of DL recruits that were big and fast enough to run a 4-man front straight up. Thus the change to a three man front with undersized, but quicker DL. Quickness mattered because every DL is required to be able to stunt/slant/stem and beat their OL. There are no 2-gap DL in this scheme. This is a 1-gap scheme that shoots gaps and enables a 6'4" 250lb DE to beat the block of a 6'5" 320lbs OG. Every play call has at least one stunt/slant/blitz. The main idea of the defense is to confuse the larger, slower footed OL to hesitate and get them off balance or a step off to enable the DL or LB beat them and then cause pressure on the QB or meet the RB in the gap. Typical DE's were 6'2-6'5" 240-265lbs and the nose were never much bigger. Biggest nose we ever had was a transfer from USC who went 6'4" 285lbs. Rocky wanted to be able to line up any of his DL in any position (i.e. small DE's would sometimes like up in 1-techs). What makes the defense really work are the many and different pressure packages that you can present with an odd front. Every position on defense has many different calls for them to blitz. Again, all of this is to take speed and apply pressure with it including simulated pressures. Usually at least one LB will be showing/simulating blitz. You never will see a true 33 stack (I was shocked when you showed a clip of a 33 stack from Tony). The MLB is a tough guy who tackles well and is a downhill player. One OLB usually is a bigger guy (6'2-6'4" 235-250lbs) who excels in rushing from the edge and the other OLB is a smaller/faster guy (6'0"-6'3" 215-235lbs) who can cover as well as rush off the edge. The rover (Aztec in SDSU's defense) is a special player who is built like a safety/LB who loves contact, can come flying downhill to take on a pulling guard, etc in the run game and cover the #3 WR. Brian Urlacher was this player at New Mexico for Rocky. He was a bit bigger than what you see today but back then teams ran much more and there was no spread. This guy will line up all over the field from EMLOS in a 7/9 tech to MLB to deep center. He blitzes a lot from everywhere. The other two safeties must be able to cover man and come up and tackle in the run game. The CB's must be your best man coverage guys. I was shocked when you said how much Tony ran zone in that game against CU (it could have been situational to CU) because the Rocky 335 runs a lot of man. There was one season when Rocky ran cover 0 almost 20% of the plays and one game (2011 vs Boise Kellen Moore) where he ran cover 0 on over 50% of the plays. Danny ran 0 a lot at ASU when Tony was with him. This is a high risk/high reward defense. The pressure causes lots of turnovers - that's one of the main reason for the controlled chaos. With smaller/faster defensive players people think it's not great against the run but that is where it shines. The chaos causes OL to hesitate/miss blocks as defenders shoot gaps. If you look back at run defense stats over the years, Rocky and his disciples were almost always in the top 30 nationally. Players know their gaps and are coached to be extremely aggressive at all times - watch film of SDSU's CB's against bubble screens when Tony coached them. It is a difficult defense for players to learn given all of the calls each position must know so usually the first year of the system isn't as great as the subsequent years because guys miss assignments and/or the DC can only call a smaller portion of the playbook. As to how I see it being used at FSU I think it may not be used as aggressively as it has been used elsewhere provided you guys can get great athletes on the DL. The more your 1/3 tech is able to beat the OG one on one or bust double teams against zone the less the need to stunt etc. If you have corners/safeties who can cover man well then you'll probably see more 5-6 man pressures. The defense is malleable to accentuate the skills of your best players and hide the weaknesses of your worst players. There's a reason this defense is called the triple option of defense and so many OC's hate going against it. It's tough for an OL to prepare for in just a week of practices just as it's tough for defenses to prep for the triple on just a week. I could go on for a while about this defense but I've already gone on too long. I'm excited to see what Tony does next season and I would expect your defense to improve. Also, Tony is a hell of a recruiter. He was recruiting coordinator at SDSU for many years and stole a lot of guys from the USC's/UCLA's/Oregon's of the Pac 12. He's an even better person though. Honest and forthright. Not a chance in hell he would ever embarrass your program. BTW - Thanks for Duffy this past season lol. Guy never played a down and was 3rd/4th string all season.

Get ready because Florida and Lagway are about to take over college football…… Kids gonna be a special player

Jordan was definitely more mobile then I remember him goin back and watching the game vs Florida

I'm curious as to why Jaheim Bell wasn't mentioned among the TE's of Norvell's time. I recall him being a beast in 2023. Is it that Pittman is a better blocker than Bell, or was Bell not as good as I remember?

So what your saying is, they suck

Bro wearing Rockies gear?

You need to be on someone’s team’s staff. Awesome break down and analytics!!!!

Don’t you mean 13-1 to 2-10😂

Jaheim bell ??! So he better than bell I think they forgot abt him fasho

Kev said Pittman will be the best TE under Norvell but I think he forgot about Jaheim Bell.

Amazing what a change of staff can do for 'cruiting.

A big thanks to y'all for getting this content out before Christmas. No slacking here from the best Nole KZbin channel there is. Happy Christmas!

Kevin forgot jaheim bell

What’s up big Dave!

I don't understand the point of getting a tight end that's not much of a blocker that's BS no excuse for a big bodied person to not be able to block

i think 25 offense will be night and day compared to 24, got the QB who can run and pass, the RBs are good and my dude davis is a beast if he can get running lanes, we got the 2 really tall WRs, and we got a unique TE, and getting the OL together with i think the best OL coach in the country so, i mean mike and the other coaches are making the best out of the portal i mean yes we did miss on some guys and that sucks but we are still getting there and i personally think that 25 will be a much better year, outside of the bama game i think we will have a good solid year.

i have a slight feeling that the other WRs will get better and create separation too cause they are a somewhat new WR coach with a new vision and way of teaching that is new and i think the guys will want to listen to and play for, so thats a hopfully good thing

You clowns going to buy into this transfer stuff like you did last year?? Hunh?

We dont have any proven playmakers on offense, so Castellanos, Pittman and this guy are good additions. I guess the staff is comfortable with the rbs since none of these guys are proven. I imagine a few more receivers will enter the portal. There is only one football, and we will be throwing to these two guys alot.

Jaheim Bell?

it is always great to have a taller WR and yes coleman and johnny were the taller guys but if you wanna go farther back look at auden tate, of course benjamin, one of my favorite WRs greg carr, look at willie holstead, and burt reed. but also we need good slot WRs to step up pittman was good and again im going back to my favorite WR reshad greene and of course cant forget kenny shaw.

Call me a Homer, but I don't think there is a better fit for us out there with all things considered

Good stuff as always

Mannn I don't know how this wasn't in my feed.... Thanks guys!
