I never would ever want to complement a Steeler, but Troy Palamalu probably plays the position better then anyone so email him and do what he does.

BTW what is your EPL team

If your changing directions chop your feet...Dont just go.
It may seem akward at first but you get to where you don't even notice it.
If your thinking pass and drop back and see the run, Chop em and go. It saves the time because it stops the momentum from being backwards.

Prolly common knowledge and will be taught to you... But its the only thing I got....Defense isn't my thing.

when you go for the hit, take out the legs, hitting them in the upper body generally won't do much, taking their legs out will put them on the ground

pretty basic, but you have no idea how many ppl i see going for body shots
