Message: [QUOTE="CbusCuse, post: 5243409, member: 507"] What really frustrates me with the defense is we get no penetration. Weather its a 3 man or 4 man front, it seems our players try to hold their ground and react instead of penetrate. Why can't we attack and cause disruption. I feel like the line and the backers are always on their heals. Our previous scheme was more of a style where we were attacking gaps and I very much preferred that. Also seems like players would prefer playing that as well and seems like it would be easier to recruit to. The read and react just seems like it leads to more medium and long runs. I'd like our front to attack more often, causing disruption and getting more stops for losses or no gain which would put them in longer downs. I assume the read and react style is supposed to prevent bigger plays from happening. But it surely doesn't seem like it does. I don't know, maybe that is just more of a bad tackling and safety taking bad angles issue. [/QUOTE]
