I think a lot of veteran guys who used to play mostly zone, even LeBeau, started shifting toward heavy man coverage in more recent years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just remember him flooding the field w/ zones but I really haven't paid much attention to his career after he left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just remember him flooding the field w/ zones but I really haven't paid much attention to his career after he left. He's a guy that is constantly evolving, but yeah he was very zone heavy back in the day. He's actually in sync with this coaching staff's views on coverage (switching to more man coverage), I think what he will really bring to the table is third down rush packages and red zone packages.

tgo Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 To the point though, Vrabel said last night on his members-only broadcast with PK that communication amongst the coaching staff has been much better this year and that with them being vaccinated they've been able to meet in person and it has made a big difference already.

He also said he wants to make sure the players do have some carry over from last year for retention and that they clean up a bunch of technique stuff. I'll post more stuff if I come across anything interesting. I also have yet to listen to Vrabel's OTP Q&A with fan questions from last week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are moving to a predominantly man scheme UCF CB Aaron Robinson would be a perfect pick for them in the 2nd round extremely feisty/competitive guy that is physical in man to man and offers inside/outside versatility.

tgo Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 Oh @AussieTitanFan08 - he also specifically called out special teams and said "that's not the kind of special teams performance that we're gonna need going forward" about last year's unit. Said they didn't improve enough consistently as the season went on. I'm guessing that's what all the ST turnover is about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
