Message: [QUOTE="DMIL, post: 2505321, member: 8539"] Agree with most of this. You are focusing on the execution of the defense with the talent that we have which requires the right personnel and execution however I'm really referring to the Defensive mindset. It takes these young guys today a while to adapt that kind of mindset out of High School and it is easier to do when you have (1) Defensive minded Head Coach (2) Upper class men to learn from. When I refer to youth and inexperience that is what I mean. This is half of it. The other half is the physical gifts to execute including talent. Defense is one of those areas that you have to have the right mind set, you have to want to play it, commit to it, take pride in it. Kids today are not wired that way. It has to be taught and that takes time with you guys. [/QUOTE]
