Message: [QUOTE="FrancoPizza, post: 3102616, member: 5195"] Being in the right coverage is correctable. Making better tackles is partly fundamentals and partly god-given abilities. Fighting through blocks is about strength, quickness, conditioning. But there's an undeniable psychological aspect that plays out during a game when you know the elephant you're going up against is bigger, stronger, hits harder, etc. Talent and effort are not mutually exclusive concepts, unfortunately. And I'll say it again, these are college players who (for the most part) spend much of their free time going to classes, meeting with tutors, etc. These college offenses and defenses can only get so technical. It's up to the coaches to implement a system that will play to the kids' strengths and help mask particular weaknesses. [/QUOTE]
