[QUOTE="wreckrod, post: 336476, member: 1935"] Gimme a freaking break. "Talent" is no excuse for not being able to teach guys to not lean and take steps towards the line of scrimmage before the snap. They put up neon signs all the time "HEY IM THE BLITZER OK?" It makes it super easy for the O-line or the RB to know who they need to block. "Talent" is not why we don't show one coverage and then roll into another after the snap. Heck the DBs have been coached so hard to never ever let anyone come close to getting past them they start back peddling and then bailing out before the snap. I can consistently call what receiver is going to get the ball in 3rd and long or medium because we line up 10 yards away on 3rd and 7 and then bail before the snap "Hey throw it to that guy." And of course bam, 1st down. We make it easy for opposing quarterbacks in a lot of ways and there's absolutely no excuse for it. And it's big things and little things. Not giving away the blitz pre-snap. Or I swear sometimes I want to take our players by the facemask and say "You DO understand that you want to try to run PAST the blocker to the QB, not THROUGH him right? Wake up." If we just had guys in position and they weren't making the tackle, ok, that's talent. But we don't. We routinely have guys looking completely lost and that is 1 of 3 things: either we have exceptionally stupid athletes who can't understand the scheme, the scheme is too complicated to be taught in a reasonable amount of time, or the people trying to teach the scheme aren't doing a good job. I have a strong suspicion it's a combination of those last two. No, I don't like Roof's philosophy on defense, but we could do a lot of things to better maximize his approach. [/QUOTE]
