My first thought, before reading where this went, was that I would try very hard not to use a phrase like "bail them out" when talking to a coach. I try to stick to the rules / judgment, and try to use "5 words or fewer".
So, I might try "The defense is remaining vertical"
I might even use your first part, "Your players are initiating contact"
