[QUOTE="56JacketDE, post: 511125, member: 1053"] I agree with this and think that is why we had 4 DC's in 11 years. All of Spring football and two a days are spent practicing and game planning against each other, meaning offense vs defense. 1st string vs 1st string, 2nd, vs 2nd... As a defensive player, depending on the position you play, you have certain keys to read, whether its an OL stance, line splits, formation, motion, etc. I have a hard time believing that spending all that time in practice preparing to face the option (and the blocking schemes, techniques that we used) in the upcoming scrimmages/spring game did much good in preparing the D for the types of offenses we were going to see on the schedule. I also think the lack of passing we did meant we pass blocked rather poorly which meant the DL lacked getting good reps in 1 on 1 pass rush drills and during Team against good pass blocking OL. If I spent all spring and fall camp preparing for cut blocking and option responsibilities, I would be behind the 8 ball when scout teams were assigned and we split off into game 1 preparation. Maybe it is hard to explain and/or realize unless you have went through it. When the LBs and secondary are doing pass skelly, the line breaks off to do one on one pass rush. I feel practicing one on one pass rush in spring and fall camp against guys like Jon Carman, Craig Page, Chris Brown, helped prepare us for the size, strength, and technique, we were gonna see during the season. The same goes for run blocking schemes/technique. Playing against alot of cut blocking has you using your hands differently than you do against more conventional technique. anyway, my 2 cents FWIW. I am optimistic that our D will have more practical practice and preparation based on the lack of option. [/QUOTE]
