[QUOTE="YJMD, post: 444936, member: 1929"] It's interesting. My idea of the new defense was that it would make things simpler for the linebackers. The best way I can come up to reconcile that with Curry's comments is that he's being assigned a specific fit in the new defense on every play whereas in Roof's defense the gap assignments were usually covered by the DL. But that meant they would have to read what was going on during the play to find out where they were needed. One way of looking at it is freeing up the linebackers to make plays. Another way of looking at it is giving them too many things to focus on and screw up. I like the idea of people having very specific expectations of what their role is on a particular play with very few read keys. But I guess that leaves you with a lot more potential assignments to learn first. I'm not sure the DL is less excited. Maybe just differences in personality. But for them it's usually either go left or go right. But that's compared to -- engage, cover both gaps, and try to shed a block when you're able to. Neither is complicated in expectation, but the technique to accomplish it is where the money's at. That is, of course, when they're not stunting or dropping into pass coverage. I'm not sure how much (if any) Woody will asked that from our DL. Something intriguing to me was the comments about continuous ball pursuit regardless of where you are in the play. Ajani said they were gonna let someone know about it if they slacked off in that department. I love it. That's real accountability. It's not about getting chewed out when your lack of effort costs you. It's about reliable consequences for falling short of expectations regardless of outcome. A teammate comment is plenty effective at that if this is the culture we have. On the downside, we better not wear ourselves out. We keep hearing about rotating players, and we have the athletes to (finally) do that, but against the HUNH offense who isn't subbing, we're at risk of getting gased. Our conditioning better be enough for everyone to at least last a whole series without drop off. [/QUOTE]
