[QUOTE="Foxyg, post: 260095, member: 1508"] In CPJ's interview on the AJC podcast a few weeks ago he elaborated on what he meant by simplifying things for the defensive players. Basically he said that our kids have to go to class and that's a real thing, so they can't stay up at the football offices all the time learning elaborate schemes on defense (when this guy goes here, it's a ___, but watch the ____ and if so and so does this then it's really a ____, so you need to check ___ and make sure ___). His belief is that sort of overly complicated **** on defense won't work at a place like Tech. The other thing he mentioned is that because our kids are so smart, they have a tendency to over think things rather than just going out there and playing. He wants a scheme that's strong on fundamentals and simplified so that kids can just concentrate on playing at 100 mph rather than being worried about getting schemed to death. Personally, I'll be damned if I know what we're trying to accomplish on defense other than dropping coverage so we won't get beat on a bomb. Our run fits suck, our linebackers continue to miss reads in the run game and we seem perfectly content to give opposing pass catchers a free release and a 10 yard cushion even on third and mediums. Love the Austin twins, but it always seems that one or both of them are lined up on tightends or wide receivers they're giving up 6 inches on. I just wish we'd challenge the opposing offense and risk the big plays in most situations. At least then we'd get the ball back in our offense's hands quicker. [/QUOTE]
