D experts - help me understand the differences vs last year. What I’ve seen is the highly publicized LBs are not making nearly the amount of plays as last year. They don’t tackle as well in space and are not in position like last year. Teams are strategizing against the Graham/Grant rotations. It started with TX and other teams took notice. The students (former coaches) have surpassed the master/professor in terms of Defensive strategy and play calling.
Offense not sustaining drives is also a big contributor.
