[QUOTE="wreckrod, post: 360681, member: 1935"] So, iBeeballin, as a player, you did this. You were IN this. In the learning process, a starter in tons of games. How hard is it to learn this stuff? And I don't mean academically. Heck, I can watch your videos now and think "nah, that guy right there went the wrong way. He should be doing this or that instead." But I mean learn it as an athlete who has to execute it real time. So that you aren't thinking, you're just seeing and doing. And where did you learn the most: from watching film, from being in practice and hearing coaches, or what? Granted, I don't know what or how Roof is teaching everyone. Or the position coaches. What is the learning process? I get that there are some basic skills that apply all the time in terms of tracking a ball carrier and then proper technique on tackling. In terms of the framework of the defense though, how hard is it to learn to play linebacker? I ask because I see us struggle with things and they just don't make sense to me. And I'm not trying to call anyone out, or say anyone is stupid or anything like that. Just looking to understand what's going on. The engineering aspect of school, I get it. I'm doing that. I know how much time it takes for me to get good grades. But, I also have time to post on here and watch videos and all that kind of stuff. As an example: early in your video Vic drops back in coverage, but Bryant is keeping the ball, and you say "not sure why he went that way, he should be up here at the hash, he comes back though." Is that a coaching thing where he's being told "ok this is your key, when you see this, do this." And he's being told the wrong thing, OR, is it an execution thing where he just was looking at the wrong thing, and if they could call timeout a coach would tell him "hey, come on, this formation when you see this, the QB is your guy, don't drop back"? I know I have a ton of questions but last one: overall as you watch our defense, would you trace our problems as a defense back to the scheme or the players? I can see how a scheme can be broken, if players follow a set of rules you can design an offense that will exploit those rules and create openings. Or, is it a matter of the players aren't following the rules as well as they should be? And to me that can be a matter of coaches not teaching it well, players not picking it up well, or sometimes just not being physically capable of what the rules require given they athleticism of the guy on the other side.
