That’s right.
Any, scheme under the sun isn’t gonna work unless we fix what is ailing us first.
I don’t buy that our switching
Man defense is what is throwing us off/making it harder to know/tell who is accountable. It should be fairly straight forward. Switching is supposed to be easier in most ways. It would have to be
easier to teach than the full-on Martin ‘17 stuff.
Plenty of teams have certainly had plenty of success switching. Clearly, we thought we had comparable personal that could pull it off. We no doubt had a switching scheme in mind when we acquired and recruited the people that we did…lengthy, quick, athletic, dudes…1-5 (for the most part)
Its obviously, possible to devise something specific for certain teams and then for whatever reason it just doesn’t work out. Sampson, had an aggressive team M2M team at OU that couldn’t quite pull it off. Then he ended up scrapping it and going. to a 2-3 zone like most of the rest of the season. So it happens. Likewise, Brad has pulled back from his schemes and charted a new course mid-stream as we all know.
But I just do not think this is what the problem is here. The immediate issue is the:attitude/chemistry/focus/toughness/
and give-damn of everyone. Like you said.
