Players have been asked about Mark Snyder in comparison to Pat Narduzzi all spring. Some have commented and written about it, including today's piece from ESPN that was quoted in a thread somewhere around here.
Snyder is new. Narduzzi is gone. That's true. But people are wrong in assuming that this is Snyder's defense and he's the new coordinator. True, he has added some ideas but this is a Dantonio/Tressel/Barnett defense. The defense will look way more like Narduzzi's defense than anything Snyder did at A&M.
Snyder is a trusted lieutenant. Dantonio loves the way Snyder can detect what's going on on the playing field in real time during the course of a game without having to see still shots and video. The ability to identify and adjust is critical in football. Snyder is said to be very good in this area.
But those thinking that this is Snyder's defense are wrong. Those who are asking defensive backs what it's like to play under Snyder in comparison to Narduzzi have the wrong idea.
