Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 5485704, member: 405"] Shafer as the DC was the same way; when you don't have the same physical talent, you have to attack, you have to hide your coverages, you have to do things to keep the other team off balance. We do very little of that under Robinson. He coaches like we have top talent. And that's fine; our talent does look much better than those teams of 15 years ago. But he's not coaching to attack; he's coaching to contain. That seems to be his nature. Try to limit mistakes by not over-committing. Our coverage makes too many mistakes, and we don't get to the QB without blitzing, at least not against the top teams. We need to gamble more on defense. We're not a great team. And our tackling under Robinson has been poor so far. That's got to improve and soon. [/QUOTE]
