I've never been impressed with DA as Def Coordinator. Ever.

As for Marcus, what is this year 3 in this system? The most fundamental things concern me with him.... tackling.

Love his work ethic but you can't continue to dip and tuck your head in the open field. Those bad habits should have been gone by now.

He's come up short in key moments 2 of the last 3 seasons & consistently late over the top. While his game recognition improved, his inability to diagnose quickly & capitalize has become a problem.

I guess what I'm saying is that I don't trust him in key, crucial moments in games.

Yeah, he just doesn't have the "it" factor and looks lost at critical times. I just don't think he's good under pressure. Too many gaffes for him to be considered elite......or even good.

Would definitely agree that our hitting & tackling still doesn't instill fear or even respect in our opponents - coming of age with the Dome Patrol set a high bar of my expectations...

Yeah, and I thought I still had game when I hit the clubs looking for hookups at 45 too!

His body and his wifey will tell him when he's done...
