Message: [QUOTE="Ringostar57, post: 1884157, member: 5189"] Tampa 2 is a little more difficult and intricate defense to pick up. Young players are left on their "islands" to follow and react to the ball. Eventually they will explore and learn every inch of their island and when to paddle over to the next island to help out. Unfortunately we do not have a Lambert or Ham at linebacker...although our linebackers are fast and quick enough to play in this defense; they just need to do a lot more exploring and recognize and react to run/pass plays. First 3 games they have been way too stationary for far too long after the snap with a few misreads. They are still learning how to drift into and close off passing lanes and recognize pass patterns and who is in their zone. Time needed and experience gained will lead to progress.
