“Trash?” Compared to who ...the Pittsburg Steelers?
Did this guy ever watch any Clemson football games.
He probably reads selective articles from Sports Illustrated..
Especially the ones about why Clemson wasn’t that great
last season. That seems to sell a lot of advertisement ..
especially on ESPN.

ESPN stinks!
I virtually only watch them for Clemson Games.
Their commentary is a waste of time…..
Or, if I want to watch perverted commentators.

If he'd said Clemson's D was "overrated," "overvalued," or even "decent with some particular weak spots or exploitable tendencies," -- or something to that effect-- then the schedule bit would be relevant. In other words, maybe the objective caliber /quality of the D wasn't on par with national statistical rankings. Fine, that's a sober assessment. But "trash"? Horse$hit. That's just showing a narrative and being a dumba$$.

and continue to be taken seriously.
Our SOS was fine. We played the national champions, for goodness sake. Pitt's Scoring Offense ranked third. Wake's fourth. UGA's tenth. And we had a terrible offense that couldn't keep possession. And we had a ton of injuries. And in the face of that, we had:
#8 in Total Defense
#2 in Scoring Defense
#2 in Red Zone Defense
#13 in 1st Down Defense
#21 in 3rd Down Defense
#34 in Passing Yards Allowed
#7 in Rushing Defense
It is indefensible to call our Defense "trash" last year, and if you try to, you are exposing yourself as either not very intelligent or just a hack Gamecock.

Yeah yeah yeah - cue the righteous indignation. Clearly this person was told our offense was worse than most high school offenses and just flipped over in his brain to spit out that the D was trash. He probably didn’t watch a single quarter or look at any scores of games since he’s too busy preparing for the draft.

His eight-year tenure as head of the franchise led to the worst eight-year record in the history of the modern NFL (31–84, a . 270 winning percentage), and resulted in his termination on September 24, 2008. Millen assembled the personnel and coaching staff of the 2008 Lions, which became the first team to go 0–16.

You guys are right - without the D we don't sniff double digit wins so I'll take that "trash" every year. Having said that, and not defending that statement, but I'm guessing he is looking at the more "traditional" defenses normally played in the NFL (due to personnel) and calling some of the BV exotic moves "trash." In college you can take a lot of chances with superior talent like we have and and win most of the time. If you're playing the likes of Brady, Rogers (and soon DW and TL I hope) in the NFL and you take chances on exotic blitzes you have a much higher chance of getting burned than you do against an ACC schedule. That's why most NFL defenses once you get over the disguises and movement end up being fairly traditional without as many gaps that folks can take advantage of.
That is the only rationale I can come up with (other than stupidity) for a statement like that.

Was the only reason we won half of our games. If we had anything going on offense we could’ve easily had the top ranked defense in the country.
Our Offense consistently put our defense in horrible positions all year with constant 3 and outs.

I believe someone is confused because it was the Clemson offense that was trash last season. The defense had to consistently hurry back on the field and could not get a breather. Without Davis, the defensive front went toe to toe with Georgia’s offensive line. The only game that the defense was not up to standard for me was Pitt.

I wish he would've elaborated more on that. I'm kinda curious what he saw vs what I saw.

Well, trash is not correct but compared to the few previous years, our defense did not scare teams. Injuries killed last year on both sides if the ball and the NC State was a perfect example when we could not stop them.

Last years defense was one of Clemson’s best. It’s an idiotic statement to cal it trash, it would be idiotic to even cal it mediocre. The only stat line that wasn’t elite on last years defense was turnovers.

I hope we see more of this "trash" this year--piles of it. I have zero concerns about this comment!

Mike Miller? Who's he? Seriously, I don't know who he is, regardless...I'd like Mike to take a pause and focus his attention on the "trash and whining babies" that comprise the NFL. I haven't watched pro ball in a minute because I find that whole organization disgusting. I will cheer on my recruited Tigers...but I don't follow the disaster that is the NFL...and honestly maybe Mike is just jealous...but he should stay in his sandbox and play.

Just say it and it’s true, that’s the way of the world today. You don’t actually have to know what your talking about or even be right, just say it with feeling and people believe anything.
GO TIGERS!
