[QUOTE="TheDrinkinLincoln, post: 1940890, member: 592014"] Maybe this has been answered, but for Zy he has been getting destroyed on spin and speed rushes from the RT spot. Which is typically symptomatic of him not being light enough on his feet and the his kick-step needs some work. In Toledo 56 set him up good by speed rushing the outside for the majority of the 1st Q and then once Crisler got over committed kicking too far back on the snap 56 was using a nice spin move to cut inside and blast LA. Kansas then took this and did the same thing but their End wasn't as good as the swim move. So they set him up with the speed rush and then switch to an E-T stunt where he was kicking back hard to try and beat the speed rush but didn't have his weight under him trying to make that kick and the End just bull rushed him in while either the T or the OLB looped around and had unabated access to LA. I saw Lunney move Tip over to help the RT but it honestly didn't help that much. If we moved Crisler back to RG it basically eliminates what he is struggling with he can sink his weight more because of they try and speed rush around him the rusher will run in to the tackle or their teammate. Zy is definitely a good enough athlete but just seems to be in his head and and getting away from his power base or "sand" if you will which is leading him to get beat fairly easily. Needs to keep his feet and Center of Gravity under himself and work on his kick slide if he is going to stay at RT. [/QUOTE]
