Sounds like a great headline to see on the front page of the
sports section come Sunday morning.
Well how do you stop/slow down or contain Denard
Robinson? This will be the Irish and
Brian Kelly’s third time; will it be “a
charm”?
Close like last year (2011) only counts in darts, horse
shoes and hand grenades. Robinson was
not throwing darts but wounded ducks
and Hail Mary’s that the secondary and Gary Gray could not stop in the fourth
quarter. He doesn’t lace up his shoes so
horse shoes are out. Hand
grenades in college football are illegal.
We watched from the stands the trashing of the Irish defense
in 2010 for 502 yards. Robinson’s 87
yard run from scrimmage is longest in stadium history. We screamed, we cried, we shook our fists and
vowed revenge. 2012 is it.
What will Robinson and the Skunk Bears try?
Test the defensive line with run plays from the RB. Robinson is 40/373/4 and Toussaint 23/96/1.
Quarterback draw.
Ding and dunk passing to the flats, sidelines and
occasionally over the middle.
Go happy feet on the Irish.
This is "Happy Feet" and Bad Ju-Ju for the IRISH
So what will Bob Diaco come up with?
Reapply the 2011 defensive plan with the hope a young
secondary can hold its’ own.
A 3-4 defense to flood the secondary with defenders and
allowing no one behind them.
Go with a nickel package.
A 4-3 defense to pressure Robinson.
Mixing everything up with constant blitzing from a
linebacker or safety.
Using the Alabama game play.
Use a spy to help contain Robinson.
Keep Robinson in the pocket and do not let him get outside
the hash marks.
Rough Robinson up, his back up Bellomy is 0/2/1.
We suspect it will be a combination of all of the
above. But what do we know; we’re the
ones sitting with a computer on our laps.
