re: Spin off thread. How would you fix our defense?

If you ever get a chance, go back and watch Nick's highlights, specifically watch how he played with his hands. There is one move in particular where as the ball is snapped you see him quickly grab a lineman's hands or wrist and give them a hard yank towards him to shift their balance and then quickly swim move past them. It's something so small and insignificant but if you look for it you will see how incredibly effective it was to get him in the backfield. Hell he may not have even known he was doing it.

I believe we have talent but it's really the little things that are holding us back. We are well below average defensively, but we could be a lot better if we refined some of our technique. We could have and should have had several sacs last weekend but guys left their feet and that quick qb spun out of tackles. Better technique leads to players playing under control.
