1) FIX THE TACKLING! This has to be job one.

2) Make sure everyone really does know and understand assignments. This is also critical.

These two issues together comprised probably 80% of the problems on defense the last 2 seasons. One (#2) caused the constant explosive plays especially in the passing game and the other both caused explosive plays and turned many plays they actually did react to correctly into explosives.


Once these two are under control then things like the pass rush and not using players in a manner aligned with their strengths can be better dealt with.

I think fundamentals are lost in football today and not being properly taught at the youth level.

Keep your head up, try and put your helmet on the ball, wrap up, and roll your hits!

Everyone else on D needs to sprint towards the ball til the whistle is blown!
