Position to play FAST!
That is the BIGGEST and MOST needed change in this D. It's happened slowly but not FAST enough. There's been too much speed and talent on D to play this read and react style. DBs 12yds off the WR is asinine and puts the DB in no mans land. This D has had fast corners and big corners. Not letting play press is basically asking the QB and WR to play catch. Troy Pride should've been pressed his whole career. Never saw a WR faster than him but if they get a 10yd running start and you still have to turn around...forget it. And no more of this DTs or DEs grabbing the OL and looking for the ball...they need to start watching NFL guys who slap, rip, club, and slip. You hold and look...you're done. The offense is adapting to all that old slow style D. Time to catch up with the new. Feel like Freeman might be bringing that.
