- missed tackles are a problem with in American football
- Newby and Gifford engaged in a "cooperative performance" at Dog LB
- will use strategic rotation in front 7
- likes the potential of the new guys
Diaco talks less like a coach and more like a football scientist. It's pretty clear that strong LB play is critical to his defense. Weber/Young on the inside should be solid at least as should the Newby/Gifford combo at Dog. Gifford is now the same size as Newby, but two inches taller with DB skills. Could he emerge as a star in this D? The Cat LB is the question mark here.
