‘faster’ in year two under Grantham

practice, and Bulldog defenders are already seeing the benefits of not
having to learn a new system this time around.

defense we need to know everybody is supposed to be — just everybody
knowing every position. I think that when we get that down we’ll have a
complete defense.”
