As I read through some threads, there were comments that we run the D that MSU runs. I found a good article that describes the MSU D under Narduzzi and what Banker's vision of the quarters D is. I particular, myself and others have noticed a distinct lack of press coverage by our DB's.... Here is what Narduzzi does:
That’ll be a key area to watch this spring as we get our first look at Nebraska’s new defense — how aggressive is Banker going to play with his defensive backs? As mentioned, not a lot of teams are confident enough to bring both safeties all the way up into a position where they can be in the box if they read run. The Spartans also almost always played press coverage on the outside — Narduzzi estimates the Spartans pressed with corners 95 percent of the time — and that’s something Nebraska could do. The Huskers under Pelini were always pretty physical on the outside and it also matches up with what secondary coach Charlton Warren looks for on the recruiting trail.
Here is another little gem:
At Michigan State, any route of 8 yards or more is considered a “vertical,” but teams aren’t going to run 4 Verts too often against quarters coverage because it is, in theory, covered. On shorter routes, the Spartans’ defense can frequently look like man until the corners drop into the deep-quarter they were responsible for all along, while shorter inside routes are the responsibility of the linebackers, who are constantly passing players off to the next man in coverage. In essence, Michigan State’s version of quarters when it comes to defending the pass is designed to not be outnumbered on deep routes, cover the underneath routes with a zone, look a little confusing and ask the offense to beat you with low-percentage fades to the outside or short-gaining out routes.
4 games in, our secondary looks nothing like what is described above..........

And lastly from Bray.....
“We want to disrupt plays,” Bray says. “We want to make that play have to go somewhere else; disrupt timing of receivers in the pass game and hit pulling linemen or lead blockers in the backfield.”

I have no idea how we disrupt receivers when we do not play press coverage, give them a free release from the LOS and allow them to get 20 yards down field with not so much as a hand on them...........
They have some great ideas, but I have yet to see any of to in four games....
