A defensive strategy catch 22

Maintain lane and assigment. Safeties have the hardest job on the team in myopinion. That is why a guy like Taylor can be some valuable. He is athletic enough to maintain his coverage resposibilities and still swarm the ball just nanseconds later. The guy who got burned on the flea flicker did so because he bit immediately on the run and didn't maintain his assignment. He wont make that mistake again. Plus it is the D-line's jobs to penetrate to eleviate the pressure on the secondary. If we get decent penetration on either of those plays they dont go down the same way.
