Coach Robert Livingston Renews Shilo Sanders & Co’s Spirits as Colorado’s Defense Runs Riot Against the Offense in Spring Practice

Within a mere two months of joining Colorado, Robert Livingston has already painted the Buffs’ defense in the picture he had in mind – explosive. With the Black and Gold game just on its cusp, it will give Livingston a pedestal for the first time for what he could flip the CU defense into. Safe to say, the DC is preparing to put up a whole damn show.

Robert Livingston stormed into the Buffs equation with the exact energy that the defense needed to rise from their previous season’s scores. 115th in yards allowed per play, 107th in rushing defense to 122nd in third-down defense. Livingston is training Shilo Sanders and Co. to flip those numbers this season, re-establishing them as the top seed in the league. Well Off Media documented Livingston’s plays.

According to them, the Buffs’ defense is not afraid to fly and hit, heightening their intensity. But that was possible after Livingston addressed some major defensive lineup issues, making it more reliable and sturdy. Another crucial missing element that is present in the previous season’s defense line is not flowing well, the communication.

The best part about all of it? Robert Livingston is a safety specialist. The former Cincinnati safeties coach has extensive six-season experience working with Bengals’ safeties. This was exactly what Deion Sanders was looking for in their defensive coach since their safety Shilo Sanders was ejected in the previous season for targeting against UCLA.

This is also why safety Shilo Sanders has been forging his skills more and more since the past couple of weeks at Folsom Field.

Robert Livingston’s work at display

Shilo Sanders reportedly missed a Deion Sanders-sponsored family vacation to the Dominican Republic to stay back at the Folsom Field. The results of all the work Shilo Sanders has been putting is in full display in the Spring practice sessions as he is one aggressive player on-field, displaying more strength and agility compared to the last season.

The talks of Shilo Sanders’ dedication to the sport have been swirling around in the CFB World. The Headache Gang has established an aura of formidability around its CEO, Shilo Sanders, as it promises to give its rivals a headache. With Robert Livingston’s explosive playing style, fitting perfectly with Shilo’s old-school aggressive way, the Buffs’ defense is expected to make some huge moments in this CFB season.

Livingston’s expectations from the Buffs’ defense underscore something similar. “I can promise you we’ll put a product on the field that will make you proud to be there,” he highlighted through his Facebook post. Whereas for the Spring game, the Buffs DC has promised that “we’re going to the moon.” Do you think with Shilo’s relentless pursuit of some flawless skills and Robert Livingston’s years of experience and explosive style, will the Buffs’ defense climb up the leaderboard?
