[QUOTE="roadkill, post: 962184, member: 1555"] Here's a "what if"...We are limited in live instruction and practice time, therefore it makes sense that Key initially picked a few areas of focus that he deemed critical, in the sense that they were very squeaky wheels. For example, last year there wasn't time to fix much in season, but I recall Key saying they had to fix the blocked punts. Another one of these areas for 2023 could be team discipline/penalties. So we may have corrected one issue at the expense of others. As you pointed out, a downside of focusing too much on eliminating penalties is that we are possibly overshooting the mark and playing too carefully. I suspect, as good a player as Charlie Thomas was for us, Key reacted very negatively to his repeated targeting calls. That could play a factor in our tackling issues. I hope this isn't the case, but I wonder. Whenever I see a team get an offensive holding call, I immediately think, "drive killer", because it often is. Since it's hardly ever called anymore, like PI, we may be better off taking our chances on these types of penalties. [/QUOTE]
