So why line up so far past the LOS then? 7 yards seems like quite a bit, but more reasonable than our 10. Is it an issue with not being able to backpedal? Will we see our corners playing further upfield when we have a pair of legitimate safeties?
Well we play a lot of cover 3 so the CBs are both responsible for a deep 1/3 of the field (Free Safety has the middle 1/3). Pretty standard for the CB's to line up 7 yards off the line.
I have a few problems that I think cause us problems:
1. We don't disguise our defenses all that often, never make the QB/OC uncomfortable
2. The CBs are in too much of a hurry to get to their deep 1/3
3. We don't knock WRs/TEs off their routes
4. The LBs/CBs/S still don't seem on the same page at passing players off in the zone
5. Most important we don't get any pressure on the QB (obvious)
Now I don't know exactly what is being taught and what isn't since I've never been to a practice and don't think anyone has ever posted it. I do know that we don't have the horses yet but I also believe there are few schematic problems as well.
