Are we going to be a man coverage or zone coverage team (I know teams switch but they have a predominant style). What system suits the players we have? Do we pick a system that works with what we have or do we start to rebuild the D to fit the new system. I really think we have to start from the very bottom again with this D.

Not that it's not talented or needs a rebuild but we need to find a system and team that fits together.

We could do with improvements and pretty much every position group on D in the draft and FA.

This is what drives me crazy. Unless youre Belicheck or Reid who have established cultures over several years, you CANT expect to make YOUR system to work, you need to adapt to the players and their skill sets. Even Bill and Andy are constantly adapting their systems to the strengths of their players. 

A blanket of “let’s just play man” doesn’t work when you don’t have any speed or quickness at corner, and safety’s who fall and can’t cover have the field. Not to mention when you have no interior push. 

These rotations are a freaking joke. Arik and Travon not taking more snaps inside is a freaking joke. The explosive 40+ yard pass plays by average QBs every week is a joke! 


What pisses me off the most is we are so close in these games, and the Defense just can’t stop anyone, Trevor has no room for error and can’t play free. Then he becomes deer in the headlights robotic Trevor.
