Really agree with the bold part.
I too grow tired of the ole' "we play player XYZ because he is ALWAYS where he is supposed to be! We just have to get him to make the play once he gets there!" Smh. Been hearing that since the Glenn Cook days. Cant we ever find a player that just makes phuckin' plays regardless of where the **** hes at as long as hes where the **** ball is!
This. I'd rather let the younger more athletic players get burn then seniors who still look lost and on top of that aren't athletic enough (ex. Highsmith) who can't cut it
I would too and the coaches have shown a willingness to play young guys. Thus, the easiest interpretation is that these guys you want to see are REALLY bad.
Not on D they haven't.
Howard struggled to break into the lineup last year. Elder has played a handful of snaps. Burns doesn't get much burn either. Those are three hugely talented CBs.
AQM gets burn on obvious passing downs. Grace, Figs et al just don't see the field.
On O it's different - if Coley runs the wrong route it's not a disaster. If Grace plays the wrong gap it could be.
Personally I'm at the point where I just play the young, athletic guys and simplify the D. Let them run to the ball. Can't be worse.
I am pretty sure the defense is simplified.
