I love what these guys are doing in terms of how they evaluate and offer players. I was talking last night with a friend who is coaching high school and he told me that many college DB coaches that go into see his DB's are looking first to see if they can "cover" before they offer him. Contrast that with Miami where in interviews you can hear the coaches saying the first thing they look for is if they can tackle.
In my opinion it's way easier to coach a kid how to cover than how to have the mentality required to bring somebody to the ground. Any DB's can correct me here If I am wrong but I think many of the coaching points in tackling and coverage are similar. "Tracking the Hip" for one example.
Many of the kids they are bringing in : Bandy, A. Carter, D. Smith, now Russell have a certain mentality that allows them to be great tacklers. These are more then just "box safeties", they are savages that stop teams from getting in the endzone. I am pumped. I love this recruiting style. Banda might be my favorite coach on the staff. There's a lot here but let me know what you guys think. Thanks!
