[QUOTE="COJacket, post: 181978, member: 67"] Interesting quote here: How has (new UNC defensive coordinator) Gene Chizik changed the defense? [B]A:[/B] He wanted it to be known for its physicality, above anything else, and you can see a real difference there. The defense is more physical. It does appear to be more hard-hitting. So that’s one thing. [I][B] More than that, though, we’re just not seeing anywhere close to the number of blown assignments and complete mental lapses that plagued this defense last season.[/B][/I] Back then, it was common for opposing receivers to be running wide open down the field, not a defender in sight. I don’t think that’s happened once this season. UNC has allowed a few long plays in the running game – including a 72-yard touchdown run on Delaware’s second play last week – and that doesn’t bode well for this weekend. Still, the defense is just a lot more “sound,” if that makes sense, than it was last season. Guys are in better position to make tackles. There are fewer busts. And players seem to understand Chizik’s 4-3 scheme a lot better than the 4-2-5 they were trying to run last season. The blown assignment sounds like us this year with our O. [/QUOTE]
