[QUOTE="youmerugby, post: 409024, member: 52082"] Hi TS, I did the same thing a couple of seasons ago, the obvious suspects to improve are your speed, repeated speed and i'd also include lateral agility — as the new wide open spaces leave you open to be exploited by more fleet-footed backs. When you are new to the backs unit and aren't familiar with defensive alignment and used to lateral movement at the quicker speed it's easy to over commit on the drift or not read the looping/switching players when they fall into your defensive zone. It's one thing to be a good tackler and a completely new ball game to be being a good defender. Good luck, go well. [/QUOTE]
