cnasty Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 What's gonna happen with him this year? He looked pretty impressive as a youngster back in 09. Last year it seemed like he regressed. Does our new DL make him look better? I think if Moore comes back this year as a better player and DeCoud steps it up a good notch, we could really shut some teams down. We have a lot of "if's" on the D this year. He is certainly one of them. We have the talent to be incredible on both sides of the ball. It's time that we start utilizing that talent.

casabao Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 i hope he benefits from the line as i kind of think he will. It will also be his 3rd yr. playing in the same defense and that's when people say it really clicks for players. No more thinking just reacting and doing. If our safties bring better play/decision making along with an improved d-line......it could get really exciting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnasty Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 If he is flying all over the field like Moore did last year, our S tandem would be just nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peoriabird Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I think it was the scheme last year that dictated that he play more of a center field position and not let any thing get behind him. In other words, I think that the coaching staff took away his aggression and made him less instinctive which is dumb. The free safety is suppose to be your most instinctive free lancer on the team. Hopefully the defensive philosophy changes and Decoud can play like he did in 09. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysnill1 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 he's gonna be great. last year he was put in the position of calling plays for the secondary and I think he was probably a little overwhelmed since that was one of Eric Coleman's jobs. towards the end of the season he and Moore started to click. I think they'll click even more since Moore is comfortable in the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Insano Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 decoud did his job last year...all we need for the saftey position is depth...dont know what happened to him since hes left but id like to have ol coleman back for that job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanfranfalcon Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 might be my bad memory...but i seem to remember him doin' a lotta chasin' from behind...hhhmmmm...wasn't impressed with his play last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlGM Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 If i remember correctly started out play SS and was transitioned to FS last year. He just needed time to adjust next year he will be much better. He still lays the boom. Put Clinton portis out and thats hard to do. The added pass rush will help him play more instinctivley and another year at FS is all hee needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But some posters make it sound like they rotate every other play and that is just not the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
