Message: [QUOTE="Chip, post: 790115, member: 19"] Obviously the D played poorly. But I don't really get why people think college players can just jump into a new defense with one week prep and know where they are supposed to be? I mean, I personally think some of the defensive gameplanning is overrated, see blocker, beat blocker, find ball, tackle guy with ball. But how many times do you see that this player isn't playing because he can't learn the D. So obviously the coaches give these kids a lot to think about out there. But for this week, let's think differently and change up our front 7. I think it was a plan that was setup for failure. And it failed. Maybe that's why the players gave up on it so easily. Doesn't excuse them, but doesn't excuse the coaches either. Early on we looked like a bunch of players who were thinking and reacting instead of attacking. I know I wasn't the only one who saw it that way. [/QUOTE]
