Quote:Yeah you don't need a star. Just need enough good players that each level of the defense isn't a liability on any one aspect

well scheme dependent 

 

I said if you have a star at every level, front 4, lb, and backside you can run any scheme with any coach.

 

With this particular scheme you actually need a dominant pass rusher, coverage and rush backers and tight man coverage, with a play making safety.

which we lack in.

 

But if Fowler is that rusher, plus Marks on the interior, you've doubled up star potential on the Dline.

And if we draft a good cover MLB to pair with Telvin, and then plug in a FS--along with the CBs we already have

 

this D is pretty nasty... and Babich, or Swartz... or Rob Ryan... will have success.

But if we are still lacking pieces at those positions next season.. Babich, or Ryan... or ANYONE will still struggle.

 

that is the point.

miss it or get it, it's up to you guys.

I like how AZ doesn't have a legit pass rusher, so they blitz a lot.

They also have 4 very good DBs and are solid across the front 7, they don't have an Andre Branch...

 

But if you look at successful D's... they have multiple pieces... they garner game planning... and extra money when pay day comes.

But without a "star" at each level, every defense can be picked apart.

 

That is today's NFL, where offense is more important than anything.
