[QUOTE="John, post: 12109, member: 1"] Leonard, while I don't agree with everything you posted, I see the points you are making and appreciate the manner in which you voiced your opinion. About the defensive backs, (*knock on wood*) they don't look as lost as we did when Groh was here. Sure, we've given up deep passes/TDs but I think most of them had to do with one of our guys getting beat rather than the DBs not knowing who they were supposed to cover. We've seen a ton of that last year especially. So maybe bad coverage techniques and plays by individual players but to me that's better than bad coverage because two guys were completely confused about who they were supposed to cover. I'm giving CTR some time to get those things fixed. It's kind of funny to me how these 2nd half adjustments on defense is working out really well so far. It's almost as if the defensive gameplan going into these games just happen to be wrong and it catches the defense completely off-guard. Offensive line, I'd like for the coaching staff to take a field trip up to Philly and talk to Chip Kelly's staff. I've only watched the Eagles once this season so I'm not sure if they are running the similar type of offense Kelly ran at Oregon but having watched Oregon, I just don't see the same mess of bodies flailing on the ground as soon as the ball is snapped like I do with our OL. Biggest difference I see is that when we run the option under center, the dive hits the defensive line a lot faster than when Oregon runs the dive/counter dive.

Biggest improvement that I saw with Tevin was when he learned to stay in the pocket (and in rare cases also stepped UP in the pocket) and didn't just try to make the deep pass but checked down. I think Vad will get there soon enough but Justin is at his heels. [/QUOTE]
