[QUOTE="wreckrod, post: 259982, member: 1935"] So that's what saw and here's what I think. Roof has no trust or faith in anybody. All of the DBs are coached to move backwards and keep everything in front of them. You can see with the way they look to turn and run and the way they move backwards despite what's happening in front of them, it's been drilled in to them that if they have ANYbody behind them they're gonna run stadiums. In general there is not a spirit of aggression or meanness that is being instilled into the defense. It's more a spirit of "don't mess up." The D line is sporadic. Sometimes they're on skates and sometimes they do pretty good. However, it looks like we get coached to engage the O-line. Nobody is exploding into a gap. We stand up and play patty cake and for the most part the O line has leverage. We get held A LOT but need more explosion and possibly theatrics to get some flags. Fight through guys. Steak dinner for anybody who gets a sack. You can see the excitement though on the defense when we get aggressive. I would bring 7 more often because it fires the guys up and invariably SOMEbody manages to squirt through. I would have our DBs stay in their backpedal longer and not be so quick to turn. I think a little bit of trust and little bit more hammer mentality would go a long way. We play almost timid, but are just waiting to break out of this into a decent defense if someone would turn 'em loose. I don't know what the thought process is when we are in nickel and have 3 guys deep but the outside DBs are playing press. It's like an open invitation to run for 7+ yards up the middle or throw in the middle for 7 to 10. Especially since at the snap everybody moves backwards. I thought EVERYBODY's defensive philosophy started with defending the field from the inside out. We do not own the middle in this alignment and this mentality. If you were a Dook fan in the first half you were thinking this thing is well within reach if coach can just get QB to relax a little and hit some throws that are there. And RBs need to hang onto the ball but offense is working and on the verge of scoring a lot more. [/QUOTE]
