Just changing our offensive and defensive schemes?
We talked before the season about how long it sometimes takes to learn a new playbook or to change to a new defense. I wonder how many of those busted coverage plays were just the players not knowing where to be.
And now, mid-season, our defense is looking better as is our offense. Poz gives insight on this:
"The fourth-year linebacker from Penn State said it was difficult to adjust to the 3-4 at first, after playing in a 4-3 his first three seasons, but he thinks the defense has finally settled in to the system and is picking up new techniques – and opposing running backs – faster.
“We’re feeling more comfortable in our scheme and our job responsibility, so that’s making it easier for us to make plays,” Posluszny said. “Any time you’re comfortable with a defense and you’re able to just read and react, as opposed to think and hesitate … you’ll always play a lot faster, and that’s what we’re getting to.”"
So then, how many losses were due to changing schemes?
My take is 3 so far this year. I think with our current talent and after a full year of conversion to our new schemes, we will be a 5 to 6 win team.
