[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 246196, member: 1640"] Actually, I have noticed that we are doing some of that. If it is not effective it does not necessarily mean that the offense figured it out. Sometimes it IS the wrong defensive call. That happens to all teams at some point, hence, the chess match. I hear people say this but I am not sure what the evidence is. I know some will say, "results on the field," but so far the results are 2-0 and holding teams to low scores. One of the things we saw in 2014 was that the defense would occasionally look the same way on several plays in a row but there were subtle assignment changes. This resulted in interceptions, something the players said they had actually practiced. What I am seeing, and I am just as much of a non-expert as anyone, is players failing to make the play. I said in a post, either on this site or another site, that it looks like certain defenders are just not quite up to game speed yet. Given the way teams practice today that is not surprising. We usually need (both on offense and defense) a few warm up games for everyone to reach the point where they react with speed rather than thinking. [/QUOTE]
