[QUOTE="MWBATL, post: 252747, member: 944"] This drives me nuts, but I strongly suspect that we simply don't have the athletes to play press coverage. I think (especially against Miami & Clemson) that the thinking was that they have great speed at receiver (which they do) and much better than our speed in the secondary. Remember on their last TD is was a simple throw over the middle and their WR simply outran our secondary to the house? That was Roof's fear. So he played soft trying to prevent the big plays. Personally, I would prefer an aggressive B88ls-to-the-wall aggressive blitzing defense. But that's just me. I also readily concede that it will definitely give up more big plays against than Roof's defense is currently yielding. I just think that it wold also occasionally yield a turnover or two to offset that. It is all just my opinion and preference, but I do think it is a lack of speed that causes this. We might see more press coverage against Pitt, who has far less speed. Actually, I will be curious to watch for this. [/QUOTE]
