Message: [QUOTE="Palatine, post: 4396034, member: 974"] One of the really fun things today was watching our blitzes actually get home. Even when they did not result in a sack they caused "hurries." Fife was under pressure much of the afternoon and it made a difference. Shearin blitzed on the Wortham pick and was the one in Fife's face to cause the bad throw. Clercius is open even when he is covered. He has the ability to track the ball in flight, the athleticism to move his body into a catching position, finally he has a strong pair of hands to finish the play. He needs to given a chance a couple of times a game. The coaches see something in Dajon Harrison we don't. They run a play for him almost every game and he was the punt returner of choice for a few games. While his touches have been mostly negative (he lost yards on a run today), he must be showing something in practice that makes the coaches feel it's important to get him on the field. The coaches seem to have dropped the trail position technique (thank goodness) in the defensive backfield and are playing much more zone. That has, not only, made the communication better but it puts eyes on the QB when the play breaks down and he runs. We need work on special teams. But Noe Ruelas is fine thank you. [/QUOTE]
