Anyone notice this is a regular tradition with Coach Walsh.  This quote
and the defensive back to basics happens every Fall.  :-)
 
Let'em jump into the offense, let'em get burnt a few times, emphasize
the defense.  Now you've got players experienced at both styles and
understanding the differences.
