It's pretty much been as soon as they hit the 40, they sub. Then, they sub back when they hit the other 40.Dale Lolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13089003781188560287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-48498347422978200402007-09-22T11:43:00.000-04:002007-09-22T11:43:00.000-04:00I think the DL rotation is LeBeau's idea.

That, and the Safety's playing a bit further back, a la the Cover 2 defense, to eliminate the longball. It's not a drastic change in philosophy, but I love seeing some freshness on defense.<BR/><BR/>I would like to know who's responsible for waving in fresh defensive players, as that seemed to happen far less frequently under Cowher....Stillexilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15448980446851526514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-10270763898058056312007-09-21T22:09:00.000-04:002007-09-21T22:09:00.000-04:00I would agree with that.I would agree with that.Dale Lolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13089003781188560287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-65729250294176998532007-09-21T05:18:00.000-04:002007-09-21T05:18:00.000-04:00It sure looks to me as if the CBs are playing oppo...It sure looks to me as if the CBs are playing opponents' receivers much closer this year. Not nearly as much playing 10 yards off them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
