Great points, as always General.

I agree with you on the press. From an Xs and Os standpoint, the press they used most of the game last night was not the same version JB has used for years and years (1-2-1-1). So there is most defiantly a lot coaching up, and in game practice, that will need to happen. I really hope this becomes a consistent part of our D, and not just something we use when desperate (relatively speaking). To press, and press well, takes dedicated practice time  - much like learning the nuances and rotations in the 2-3.

Admittedly, I have only watched the game once, but I am fairly certain that JB was either using a man press with a zone trap rotation on the first pass inbounds (very difficult to execute without a ton of practice, essentially going from a man to zone press on the pass). Or, they were playing the traditional 1-2-1-1 and playing the front end "hot"  - meaning they were matching up  with anybody in their area.
