The NFL is a copycat league, but you'll notice that the great coaches in this league will buck the trend. It took a while for the Seattle scheme to be exposed, but it's exposed. It's not worth following the trends. We need a defensive coordinator that will utilize our talent and scheme around what we have on our team. NOT drop Defensive Tackles into coverage.
