One of Gute's preferences this year was guys who run really fast, and hit really hard when they get there.  Speed makes the offense act quickly, which means they need to think quickly, which means they may make bad decisions.It all fits everything I'm picking up on from watching Hafley's old coaching clinics and podcasts - do not ever let the offense dictate the play; take the initiative away from them at every opportunity, interfere with every single thing they try to do, and make them react to you instead of you react to what they decide to do. Don't let the receiver run the route he wants to run, don't give the QB time for the routes to develop, don't give the passer a clean window to drop the ball into - force him to throw risky passes, sooner than he would have wanted to. Force him to squeeze it into a tight spot.No  more of this "keep the play in front of us, let them come to us" crap. No more "bend and bend and bend until they get inside the 10, and then just break so that we can get the ball back". I think i see very clearly what Hafley is trying to do, and the only question is, is he good enough to make it work? If he can, I see good years ahead.</blockquote>
