Defensive Discussions

Okay that's old stuff and I can't remember what I ate earlier let alone defensive calls from 2022. What's the scheme issue with our current defense?

 

same thing that plagued us then scheme wise, as i explained above, is the same now

so what’s your thesis on it since i shared mine

 

Almost every scheme can work if it fits the players and the coaches call the right plays at the right time.

We play 2 high safety when they may as well not exist in the run game and stink in the pass game.

We stick with 2 high on short yardage (4th down included) and are willing to go 6v9 in the box.

 

I agree relative to short yardage, we seemingly just give up in those situations sometimes. The safeties sucking is not a scheme problem. They're not being asked to do anything exotic, something wrong with the coaching there because they just don't do what they're supposed to do. There's no scheme you can run that doesn't require a modicum of decent safety play.
