Bush's comments underscore the difficulty of this defense. Rex Ryan runs a very complicated system. This puts a lot on the safeties. They need to make sure everybody is lined up correctly and serve as the last line of defense in an aggressive system, which requires a thorough understanding of what everybody else is doing and how to react to a move the offense makes. It is a lot to ask a young player with minimal experience. Just consider how Bush is entering his second year and still is learning about the scheme.
