Message: [QUOTE="Fly Rodder, post: 2109268, member: 2133"] There are four starters who hadn't played the 2-3 zone before, at best, June of last year. And none of the 7 players in the rotation, except perhaps Lydon, look like they have anything other than a passing familiarity with the defense - which is really built on trusting that the other players have their area covered. Hell, a senior Roberson slipped trying to catch up with his man and he got screamed at by the HOF coach for being out of position before slipping. I don't think any player wants to allow someone an open shot and M2M habits are hard to break especially if a guy moves from your area to an open area because another player might be out of position or not see it. It's not an easy defense even if the other 3-4 players are a finely tuned machine let alone when they're just as new as the other guy. [/QUOTE]
