Message: [QUOTE="jkm54, post: 74728, member: 1385"] I'm not a huge x's and o's guy, but isn't this going to be the nature of Shafer's defense until experienced corners are developed? With the safeties being used a lot to cover the run, the corners seem to be left in one-on-one pretty regularly. Since we have such youth at the corner position (and to me it seems like "project-youth," not guys that should be starting in their first two years), we've been prone to giving up the big plays . Please correct me if I'm wrong because it's very possible. It just seems that Shafer is living or dying with the man-to-man coverage by young corners, which hasn't really worked out this year. It's not to say these guys won't develop as they seem to be solid athletes; they just need some more seasoning to develop technique. I look forward to seeing what Shafer's defense would look like with seasoned corners. [/QUOTE]
