Look...Why do you think it's position corching?<br /><br />Look, the secondary starts exactly one player who has ever played a division one football game at the position where he's currently being asked to perform. There's no depth. One guy's a walk-on.<br /><br />The linebacking corps has a fundamentally different set of responsibilities in the 4-3 under from the task it performs in the defense used last year. Different gap responsibilities, different keys, different everything.<br /><br />There is no margin for error on a defense with one inexperienced unit, and our defense has TWO.<br /><br />You seem to be one of the good guys, for the most part, and I just wonder why your lack of confidence in the position corches isn't more than a little mitigated by the fact that the kids they are charged with teaching have only known them for 18 months, and in some cases for 8 months. This takes time. It is a learning process. Firing people, getting new teachers to impart the highly specific techniques and tasks that these kids need to master, is not going to make things better.<br /><br />I hope this doesn't read like excuse-making, or indifference to the concept of accountability. One of the basic rules of project development in programming, where I work, is that you never bring new guys in to work on a project that is behind schedule. Why? Because the amount of time they have to spend figuring out what they do and don't know, and then in communicating their thoughts about how to move forward, is always better spent with the original team (who doesn't need to learn new things) moving forward with the repair packages they, who are already familiar with the project, are looking to implement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
