Offensive schemes evolve. Personnel dictate schemes, unless you're NC and force feed your scheme to the personnel. Rolo & Co. are and have been bringing in their recruits, so I would not be surprised if the offense looks markedly different with more agile OL.BigWave96744 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 26, 2017 7:45 amThis alone may cause some not to renew their ticket. I've heard a lot of fans at the stadium and around town that say this offense is just as boring at Norm Chow's run, run, pass, punt
As for the defense, the emphasis on edge rushers shows the recognition that the ability to apply pressure without committing to blitzes will make our DBs seem vastly improved. Hopefully, the DE position will become one of strength and enable the defense to shut down opponents on 3rd down.
I'm with Irse on the coaches, especially DC. I'd rather have a nimble-minded, cutting edge up and comer at DC who may be here as a stepping stone for only a couple of years over an old war horse who has gazillion accolades but his best days are be behind him and is close to being put out into the pasture. The budget apparently limits who can be hired, and those two types would seem to be the most willing to come here. The younger coach is also more likely to go balls out in recruiting. Aranda types do exist - just gotta find them and get them here. Those are just my 2 cents anyway.
