Quote:I disagree... These players, for the most part are all young. We got rid of most of our vets and blew up the entire team when Gus took over. In addition to that, we're playing this seattle defense that needs to be coached and properly implemented.


I think you assume that just because these guys played college ball, they are all completely formed players that you can plug and play with little coaching.


That's not how this works. Especially given that the Seattle 3 deep zone system is not what any of these players were used to playing before they got here. So yeah, I totally disagree with what you're saying here.


You are correct that nobody knows what goes on during film sessions and subsequent practices, but are you gonna sit there with a straight face and say that you are confident that our players are getting the most out of their time under Gus?


The regression that we've seen from almost every player (besides Lee) is not some freak accident. Think it through.

Just so you know, the difference in cover 3 and 2 is the responsibilities of the secondary. The lb zones are the same (exception being you move the strong side lb into the flat as opposed to the SS). Anyone who has played at least high-school would have plenty experience running both. As far as Bradley's version, the design of stopping the run is different, but not on a mad scientist level. Every defense will have a spot of vulnerability when it comes to coverage.
