Message: [QUOTE="mauconnfan, post: 2094381, member: 489"] A big mans coach can't teach instincts on D so many people are so wrong on this. I hope he picks it up himself because they are teaching it, but people have to be able to learn it. Truth be told both Facey and Brimah were the same on defense. The only thing separating Brimah and Enoch on that end was Brimah's ability to block 2.7 shots a game, otherwise he's the same guy. Always lost but good news is he could make it up sometimes. But not enough, he was a shot blocker and crappy overall on defense. Why? because the instincts of thinking ahead to see what's going to happen, to read the help required and to get your hands on the side to make that pass tougher are NOT there. I will say it again, need smarter players, simple as heck! I will be honest not sure Steve will ever get that end unfortunately but next year will tell us a bit more. [/QUOTE]
