[NU Sports] Defense

[DPENDERG at aol.com]

I wonder then why the head coach (and not another defensive coach)  would be 
assigned the sideline duty of simply transmitting the  coordinator's calls 
from the press box.  Maybe Fitz -- with his defensive  background -- retains the 
option to send in a call when he  wants.  I do not recall Fitz doing this 
earlier in the season.

Well,  Colby is still up in the box calling plays down to the guys on the 
field and  Fitz is probably sending them out to the field.  I couldn't imagine 
that  Fitz is just letting Colby sit in the booth without doing anything, even  
though most 'Cats fans wish that he would do so. 

In any case whatever  the coaching staff has done with the defense has helped 
a lot.  There was  definitely some good pressure on Tate yesterday and I 
applaud the D line and  coaches for finally getting some pass rush.

Perhaps  this has been noted earlier, but it seems (from the television
coverage  only) that Fitz is transmitting signals to the  defense.  Is  he 
(not 
Colby) now determining the  defensive schemes during the game (or at  least 
some  of
them)?  That would be a very significant development if  that  is the case.
And possibly an explanation for improved D  in last two  weeks.
