A friend that’s a HS football coach in the state of Florida attended a practice last week. He along with his staff were allowed to sit in a meeting room with the defensive staff as they broke down practice film mentioned that the coaches were in unison that Amari was biggest head scratcher on the defense. It was said that he was one of the more physically gifted players on the team, but could not get the mental part. He’ll often miss his assignment or be aligned wrong and will freelance leaving gaps uncovered. That they’ve tried him at OLB, MLB and is unable to grasp what’s going on, in meetings and film work he seems to know, but once he hits the field there’s just some sort of disconnect. They’re to the point where he may be best used as a pass rusher on obvious passing downs. I found it very interesting to hear all that considering he’s been one of the leading tacklers the pass couple years all while frequently lining up wrong and freelancing.
