[QUOTE="InsideLB, post: 974625, member: 857"] I agree to an extent. Venables himself has said having War Daddies up front makes all the difference. That said, Elko goes to Duke and has immediate success withe the players who are already there. If you read about the Duke turnaround Elko says the biggest thing when he arrived was that the players failed the eyeball test. He put as much into S&C as he possibly could. Obviously paid dividends for them. As an ex-college LB who had an amazing DC and amazing talent on the defensive side that produced a nationally ranked defense, coaching matters. Dude tweaked the D each week for each opponent. Lots of subtlety with shading DL this way or that, or assignment changes that had huge impacts. Sometimes assignment changes in response to different plays or formations. For example for one opponent DC decided offside ILB rushes the QB automatically on sprint-out away. I came into a game as freshman in the second half and had 3 sacks in five minutes. Totally unblocked, no skill required...just run over there and tackle somebody, like taking candy from a baby. At the same time we had an all-american DT AND an all-conference DT one year, and an all American speed rusher for a couple years after. Had an LB-sized free safety who hit like a load of bricks. Dudes made plays. Our DC was the S&C coach (this was D-III) and knew what he was doing. Guys got huge and strong. So really it all fits together. Amazing to see how guys transform physically. Any way you slice it having DL that win one on one's and eat people is huge. They require a lot of attention and are just disruptive as hell. Makes it really fun. [/QUOTE]
