But you can tell he's a quick study because basically what he knows is what he's learned this weekend, and he's doing things in a sound nature on the field already. |
It allows them to play fast. |
It is a player-friendly scheme, but at the same time the expectation level is very high and the attention to detail is very high. |
Oh, no. He does a nice job with his public image, but the guy is a pit bull. |
Teams have been blocking him for three or four years now. He always has to take on a blocker - a tackle, a guard, a back. He has a rush plan just like a defensive end, and he takes it personally. |
That's where the rush and the coverage come together. The way you attack it is vertically. But in order to do that, you have to protect, or you have to get a bunch of people out to stress us. If you get people out, we've got one-on-one with the guys up-front. If you keep guys in to protect, we've got enough people in pass defense, and guys are in position to see the ball come out. |
The safety position is almost like the center on the offensive line. It's communication central. He's in the eye of the storm, so to speak. |
