re: My Take On This Team So Far. (Good And Bad)

as far as screens go, man coverage takes the CB out but makes the LB/Nickel or Safety read the pass quicker as they are locked on their man. Basically our defensive strategy seems to be keep everything in front of us and not to give up the big play and wait for a mistake by the O or a big play by the D to stop the opponent. It mostly works except when facing a team that has a good QB, is patient and efficient. What frustrates me though is not running zone it is the fact that the cushion is soooooo deep and then the CB tends to hit their backpedal on the read, putting them effectively many times like 12 yards off.
