We are certainly going to have to shadow Harvin, even if we play zone around him. With Tebow looking to run, zone isn't the worse thing you can do. If we can take away their running game and make them one dimensional, then, you might play more man, or "Tampa 2", man coverage with deep safeties. Stop the running game and contain Tebow in the pocket. He doesn't move real well contained in the pocket, so our pass rushers need to be under control. Don't run past him.
This will be our DB's biggest test yet imo. They will have to remember a million assignments and they have to tackle in space. I cant wait to see them because I am pretty sure we have the talent, they just need to grow up mentally in this game. Should be fun to watch. Defensively I doubt we do anything out of the ordinary for guys like Harvin. They all have assignments for his motion and they just need to step up and tackle him.
contain with the ends. obviously prevent big plays. BIG KEY---LB and S coverage of Hernandez. Running game. Like last year, keep their O on the bench.
Completely agree. They have their assignments, they just need to know them when the ball is snapped. Didn't Chad and Miles complain about lack of time to substitute players? Thought Chad said something about going in the game and him not knowing the play or being confused what assignment he had because of time constraints.
Just like last year, DE and LB play will be huge to keeping Tebow and Harvin contained and taking away the quick slants.
