Which DC can stop modern offenses?

1 game against a good opponent means he can stop modern offenses?

I haven't seen evidence of any DC scheme that is consistently able to stop modern offenses as in the days of yore.

Today, "success" is about getting a few key stops.

You can't really stop it, you can only hope to contain part of it..(i.e. LSUs defensive backfield this year.)

Can’t really stop it but contain. Bend but don’t break.
When they get to the red zone offenses have less room to operate. That’s when you hold them to field goals.

You have to be able to create negative plays, and make the QB throw it sooner than he’d like.
This will cause stops and turnovers, that’s how you beat any offense, doesnt matter the era.

The one that gets to practice against it all year.

From a standpoint of making the quarterback throw too quick, I would have to take Todd Grantham. He didn’t pressure Joey too much this year, but he typically is not scared to bring the pressure.

I keep seeing this DC can’t stop modern offenses and that DC can’t either...(insert DC’s at your pleasure)

Any of them can if the have better talent than the offense. Tons of shitty teams run spread. The difference is the other team has better athletes. It’s 80 percent players and 20 percent scheme/coaching. Vandy can run the spread all they want. They are not going anywhere.

Just need to force 3 punts per half
