I’m not an X and O guy, but Bull talked about how Banks has mixed 4-3 and 3-4 principles within the secondary and front. That it doesn’t make sense what we’re trying to do some times and makes it extremely hard for players to know what to do.Simple isn’t just about exotic looks or disguised blitzes though. Our WRs for example aren’t running a huge route tree, but are usually in choice. So they’re having to read the coverage with the QB to be on the same page.
If Banks is asking the coverage guys to do the same, one player reading inside man instead of outside zone is the difference between a 3-5 yard run & a 35 yard TD.
I think Banks is overloading his secondary with too many presnap choices, he can simplify by cutting down how many the players have to make.
I remember watching his film breakdown of OSU last year and he was getting mad even trying to figure out coverages because so many people were doing different things that didn’t make sense. He would say I think this is cover three, but why is the linebacker here, maybe it’s cover four, no it can’t be that.
