Everybody needs to bookmark this thread. I am about to eat some crow.
I played in Div-ll over 30 yeas ago. Things were much different back then. everything was about stopping the run. Our SS was more like a LB and our OLBs often played so close to the line it looked like we were running a 5-2 front. The pass defense schemes we used were probably more primitive than what they use in high school today. I feel like the old guy at the Y who still thinks he can run the floor with the young guys and immediately pulls a hammy.
That being said if I had just stopped to think a minute instead of bragging about what an expert I was I would have made a much more intelligent reply. I have seen CBs sit in zones and not just match up on the first receiver available. I've seen DBs pass off a receiver to another defender when leave a zone. Sometimes my mouth (typing fingers) just run faster than my brain.
But the reason this is so epic is that it happened in a thread where I was comparing myself with Belichik who was a genius DC before he was a genius HC.
So call your friends. I have admitted I am wrong before. That is not as rare as some people claim. But I don't think I have ever stuck my foot as far into my mouth as I did in this thread. I was tempted to go back and delete the post where I was bragging about having "played on a field", but I deserve everything I get in this thread.
