[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 966366, member: 282"] We still played a 4-2-5. We still did mostly the same kinds of stunts and slants and shifts by our DL. We didn’t seem to “simplify” anything.**** What I saw was [LIST] [*]Wrapping up. [LIST] [*]Literally, wrapping your arms around the guy with the ball and not letting go [/LIST] [*]Gang tackling (get three or more other guys to the ball) [*]Closer coverage (“break but not bend” defense is unfair) [*]Everybody playing a lot harder [*]Fighting off blocks (though I still saw our CBs taken out of the play by Miami WRs a few times) [*]DEs mostly setting the edge (they came inside sometimes, but I didn’t see as much of four DL completely blocked by the other OL) [/LIST] I don’t know how, 5+ weeks into the season, you start playing team defense and tackling hard when you had an entire offseason to burn that into your brain. That was, by FAR the best effort by the defensive players this year. It might be a better team defensive game than any last season (would have to check). **** If someone wants to take clips and show me where there were differences in defensive scheme, I’ll change my mind. Just watching, I didn’t notice major differences in the defensive playbook. [/QUOTE]
