[QUOTE="upperdeck, post: 1954754, member: 474"]
in the beginning we were chasing plays all over the field.  guys were getting deep and home run plays left and right..  yesterday and even last last week there were plays made but many of them you have to give some credit for the offense.   there were guys in position on some of those passes and just really good throws and catches.  the same plays that we want our guys to make.

we did very well on 1-2 down.  the killer part in the 3rd down conversions were how many they made on plays that were not thrown far enough and we just didnt make the tackles.  positioning has improved by 100%

You can really see the difference on the bubble screen where bigger more physical playing DBs takle on the tackle and we get 3-5 yds and our smaller DBs try to hold on for 8-12..

guys are in so much better position to make the plays now but just can hold up at the point of attack.

we have no pass rush, but you can really see how much the coaches are having to deal with limitations on how we rotate in DBs for certain plays.  we have Dbs that can deal with some of the running formations and some with the passing and we have to mix and match all game. that cant be ignored and goes way beyond nickel dime packages.

we are playing with almost our entire DB and Dline groups dinged up, no one can over come that.
