Has Defense died?

[*ochocincos*]

Defense isn’t dead, it’s just crazy difficult now. It’s becoming more about finesse than physicality.
To be an elite defender, you now have to be able to run stride for stride in coverage and be twitchy enough to avoid split-second illegal contact when offensive players make unexpected moves.
We’re going to continue seeing defensive issues until defenders adjust or are replaced with more athletic, twitchy ones.
