[QUOTE="Jmonty71, post: 252729, member: 2970"] I don't fully understand CPJ's offense, nor will I even act like I do. However; I do know defense. Played it, coached it, taught it. What Roof runs is a very stripped down, vanilla 4-3 base defense. Little to no presnap movement. Very little pressure. Looks like we play almost a nickel version of a prevent defense. The kids are coached to play lackadaisical and then expected to turn the aggression on when tackling. The LB's look lost, at times. The DB's play so far off the ball, it doesn't matter. These are all serious issues when you play teams with the same or better talent. It's a recipe for disaster. Take the Clemson game. Everyone knew that Watson was a timing QB. I lot of the routes were based on timing. Why oh why, would you start the game with the DB's not pressing their WRs? After a quick 14 points, Roof finally got a clue. I'm not saying we blitz on every play. However; you can't play and fall back into a soft zone every play either. You have to let your defense pin their ears back and go after the QB here and there. You have to let the kids be aggressive on the field. That leads to better tackling, turnovers and force more punts. I am not a fan of the "bend but don't break" defense. In which, quick history lesson. The nickel "bend but don't break" defense was created in the 80s by the NY Giants as a why to combat the West Coast offenses. Mid to late 80s, but the 80s. This defense was good all they way through the 90s, pretty much. However; most offenses now are not West Coast style and much more modern. It takes a modern defense to combat modern offenses.
