We're only halfway through the NFL Season and working our way towards the end of the college football season in a couple months.
Bill Belichick Scouting Notes on Defense per Daniel Jeremiah Podcast
Defend middle of the field first. Do not allow offense to run or pass inside. Pressure on the QB up the middle. Force them to go to the outside. Make sure you have a 3rd Down cover LB.
DE: All-Around players. Big, strong, and can run. Would rather have the bigger, stronger guy than the faster guy to stop the run & substitute in for the pass rush.
#1: Cannot get knocked off LOS. #2: Size over Speed at DE. #3: Pressure up the middle on QBs can cause more problems than guys running around the corner. #4: Frame & Growth potential are very important.
DT: Need explosive quickness. Can play well in a fairly confined space. Explosion, power, quickness, leverage.
ILB: Has to play in close quarters. Instinctive, explosive tackler. Can face up and knock guys back. Good blitzers, must be football smart. Don't need great intelligence, need instincts. Quickness, aggressiveness, leverage, explosive power.
OLB: Big, rangy guy if you can get them. Usually 1st Rounders but settle for guys who can stay on the line. Long arms, quick hands. OLBs need size, speed, and athletic ability.
CB: Tackle and force guys. Cannot put guys on the field who cannot tackle. Intelligence on defense not a great factor. DBs have to work well together like an offensive line. Teamwork and unselfishness.
FS/SS: Tacklers, at least 200 pounds. Need range with 2 deep safeties. Do not need mental giants. Have to be able to cover man to man. Ball skills and judgement are essential.
19 QBs, 23 RBs, 40 WRs, 17 TEs, 27 DEs, 20 DTs, 30 LBs, 27 CBs, 12 S = 215 Players
