One question this thread raises for me is how our defensive schemes put a certain player in position to cover say the flat. From what I've seen Rocky is our best cover LB but I don't see him get "stuck" in coverage that often. Sometimes it looks like Rocky is hovering there around the LOS while London sort of roams 7-10 yards off the LOS, which inevitably gets him "stuck" in coverage. London covering is a bit of a sh*t show IMO...i mean come on how much reach can a 5-10 bowling ball w/ short arms really have to defend a pass? Why doesn't Blache have London hover around the LOS and Rocky sit back further?
