Less man, more zone for UL's defense in 2016

[Cajunrunner]

How dare you compare our ____ty, lame defense to Monte Kiffin's Tampa 2.

Your reading comprehension sucks, though I'm not surprised. I wasn't comparing our defense to Tampa's. I was merely pointing out that you don't have to run a strict man coverage secondary to get offenses off the field and force turnovers.

My reading comprehension is just fine. We aren't Tampa. Our defensive coordinator isn't Monte Kiffin. And we didn't choose to run zone. We are not going to zone because Hud wants to...BECAUSE HE FEELS HE HAS TO. This isn't a preference, it's desperation. Major difference. Your using Tampa and Carolina as examples...they CHOOSE TO ____ING RUN ZONE.

This.

Just look at the NFL where you maybe have two true lockdown corners these days. It's not that the talent at corner has gotten worse. But rather, the rules have been geared more and more to aid the offenses because "all football fans want to see more passing and more points".

I think it's BS what has been done, but the rules are now much more heavily enforced against the DBs. You're barely allowed to breathe on the receiver as you try to run downfield with him.

Being a corner on an island is almost impossible these days.

Football being less physical to help offenses is not why our defense sucks. Stop making excuses.

Yep. Your reading comprehension does suck, because I didn't blame the rules on why our defense sucks.

But hey, continue with your message board badass persona. I just join others in laughing at your ridiculousness.

Revis,Norman,Sherman... Put them on teams with no pass rush and see if they are still the best in the league.

Yep. And keep in mind Norman was in more of a zone scheme than strict island man at Carolina.

FWIW - Norman has been getting burnt by Jackson and Garcon the past few days. Was it a product of the system? We shall see.....

Redskins front 7 couldn't carry Carolina's front 7 pads at practice...Norman will not be what he was in Carolina but good for him he got paid.

Most overrated player in the NFL
