Is Schiano Fox 2.0?

[panther4life]

That thread title may even be a bit of an insult to Fox as Schiano has done nothing noteworthy in NFL. Here's some little tidbits I dug up on him.

Defensive Philosphy:

1. Stop The Run

By this, Schiano means one thing: keep the opposing team under 100 yards rushing, and you're likely to win every game. He notes a statistical correlation, although I'm always wary of those: does keeping rushers under 100 yards cause wins, or does winning cause keeping rushers under 100 yards? Remember that teams stop rushing the ball when they're down big, or down late in games, while they rush more often if they're up late in games to run out the clock. Regardless of the truth, this is the number one point in Schiano's defensive philosophy, and you can expect it to be emphasized with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as well.

2. Limit Big Plays

Big plays in Schiano's mind are plays of 25 yards or more. Eliminating those plays entirely is not realistic: they're going to happen. Instead, keeping hem down to two per game is the goal. Again, he notes a statistical correlation between limiting those big plays and winning - in this case, it's likely a case of causation as well as correlation.

3. Create Takeaways

His goal: three takeaways per game. He calls them 'takeaways' because 'turnover' is a passive term.

On Offense it looks like he wants mirror what Fox did here with a ground and pound with the occasional shot downfield off of playaction.

"Punting is okay. We have a great punter (Michael Koenen)," he said. "Scoring drives, they may be one series, they may be two series, they may be three series. If you punt the ball and get the ball back in better position, the drive just continues and you put it in the end zone."

He also has some Connections to Rivera and Chud fwiw.

Schiano was a defensive assitant and later a Defensive back's coach in Chicago when Rivera was first getting his coaching career started in Chicago in 97-98 as the Bears defensive quality control coach.

He crossed paths with Chud down at the U(Miami) in the 99-2000 season. Chud as most well know was the tight end's coach and Schiano was the Defenisve coordinator that year.

Be quite interesting to see how the 2 different coaches approach this game.

Why would we care?

I'm willing to bet most defensive coaches want to shut down the run first. One, it's the physical part of the game and coaches want their defenses to be known as tough. Second, putting pressure on the QB is easier when you know they are passing.

he's just trying to make it sound more cerebral, but it's really nothing different than anyone else focusing on good old fashioned old school football would say.

foxball 2.0 sounds about right. just with more words than run the ball. stop the run. eat my cereal. poop. wipe butt. wash something.

thats football fundamentals 101.

Schiano doesn't talk it though, he played LB in college and coached Rutgers to the #1 run D, scoring D, and Pass D in the big ten last season.

He knows what he's doing and this game is shaping up to be a classic trap game for the panties. A lot of excuses will be flying around here come monday. My kind of partay!

Dude, Rutgers is not in the Big 10. Quit making things up. Keep your trolling to facts or opinions.

I think the cowgilrls running game was shut down last night.

I now know more about Schiano's boring understanding of football fundamentals than the average Bucs fan. Schiano must have Asperger's syndrome to drone on like that and bore the hell out of anyone within ear shot. I'm glad he's come to terms with the idea that punting is ok, get ready for a lot of it this season.

I know, I know, but it's better than finishing last...
