re: Lack of contain

Eh... yeah, there HAS to be some lack of fundamental issues there. Happens too much.

A) seen several times where contain THINKS he has contain, but is actually out of position. Whether it's too far upfield or they've let a blocker get outside them. That's a fundamentals issue.

B) In some cases I think it's someone just wanting to make a play. Players, not just freshmen, not playing their assignment and playing within the system. That's what happens when you're plugging holes and there's a lack of trust in the other guy doing his job.

C) DL's inability to eat up enough blockers is affecting the LBs here.

It's not a simple case of teaching one or two, especially when (B) is happening.

But it indeed is killing us.
