[QUOTE="tech_wreck47, post: 246777, member: 2346"] Football on D is so much more than what you mentioned, if You have a kid who does not have quick area speed at CB and you tell him to play 7 to 10 yards off the ball and back petal as soon as the ball is snapped and he cant get to the WR fast enough on quick routes because he doesn't have quick area speed am I playing to his strength? Or should I have him start to back petal when the reciver has ran 4 or 5 yards that way if it's a quick route he can jump it quicker. That's the type of stuff in talking about. I do agree we have made some bad tackles and that's not on roof, but there is other things you can do not to play to the strength of a player. Is he a bad pass rusher or blitzer yet you ask him to do that or is he bad in coverage yet you ask him to do it often. Dan Quin of the Falcons said he is going to play to his guys strengths and show them off if specific ways to help them out. Kroy for the Falcons was awful in coverage yet he keep dropping back when smith was the D coordinator, so was he playing to his strength or weakness? That's the kind of stuff I'm talking about, scheme not ability to get off blocks or make tackles, because you are right that's not completely on the coach although it's his job to coach the kid up to be able to do that.
