Message: [QUOTE="CUSU, post: 770731, member: 2908"] Been asking this question to myself all season. Our DB's give WR's a 5-7 yard cushion and then let the opponent run by them before turning their hips (especially #9). They played a lot of zone this past weekend and the corners were suppose to mesh with the safeties to hand off the WR. This mesh/exchange was not working because the safeties were getting sucked in on play action and were no where to be found. Another thing I didn't understand was trying to match our OLB's on their slot WR's. There was no way that our OLBs could cover them. When we brought Morgan in with the nickel package and played more man, (Like the third quarter) we played ten times better. I think we have to play nickel more considering the passing attacks in the ACC. [/QUOTE]
