I find it a bit odd that Spikes said this about the new Defense:
When asked what he thought of what he’s seen of the new defense, Spikes had an interesting response.
“It’s hard to tell. I’m frustrated,” he said. “Hopefully we get everything together as far as understanding the concept (of the new defense).”
But Donte Whitner said this:
"The defense is pretty simple," Whitner said. "We're trying to fine-tune it, watch some film and talking to the coaches and, you know, just keep learning."
Hopefully Spikes is just frustrated because he's not able to run the defense yet, not that he is confused by it.
