He’s not wrong in that statement. But you also have to connect the dots that he’s the HC and tackling, communication, and leverage are all daily fundamental drills that also fall on the HC.- Diaz on the adjustments he has had to make as the play-caller on defense throughout this year: “There is no scheme that can handle losing leverage of the football or handle tackling. There is no scheme that can handle a miscommunication on the back end. What we have done is we have identified what has been getting us, what the causes are, and then highlight our frustration with our inability to make big plays.”
ZERO accountability..
To piggy back on this. All the things that he says are wrong are things that have always been wrong with his scheme and teaching. We always have busts on the back end due to lack of communication (we were just lucky to have Jaquan back there to be the eraser his first couple of years), we still play with zero leverage on the backside, still give up the flat for easy completions and 5 yards a pop and since Shaq has left our tackling has been awfulHe’s not wrong in that statement. But you also have to connect the dots that he’s the HC and tackling, communication, and leverage are all daily fundamental drills that also fall on the HC.
Nothing in his statement is wrong for the ‘Defensive coordinator’ but all of those issues fall back to whoever is playing the guys that are playing, who coaches all of those things, and what we practice weekly and how it wasn’t addressed pre-season… the HC. Which just happens to also be your DC.
Expectations of your older players? Good lord, they cannot play. This program under Diaz is in complete disarray.
I will tell you the causes. That one is simple.
