    I feel that Benton isn’t the only one on defense trying to make a play rather than letting technique make the play, as Hoke says.

    We have seen enough of Benton's struggles let's get Ekuale more snaps.

    Last November I had a chance to sit with Chris Hoke and talk a while (about land development not football)

    He is a very nice person

    Comes back to fundamentals. Just like the OL. These players need relentlessly drilled on the fine points, e.g. hand placement, footwork, knee bend, etc. You see them repeatedly making the same mistakes. I fear if they don't do it on their own time in the offseason with a trainer there just isn't enough time spent on it when the team is together because they are trying to learn playcalls.
