I get the feeling that our defensive scheme for a while has been a sort of Rocky Balboa mindset. Bend but don't break, let the other team throw themselves out, conservative, nothing flashy, and hope to be able to survive any onslaught of attack. Absorb the attack, and then win with offense.


How's that working for you Babich?


So we found out the hard way that this scheme will not work with this personnel. We do not have the talent that Seattle has. My question is, why they didn't make any great strides in changine the approach or the scheme? Too predictable. Too vanilla. It's like trying to force a square peg in a triangular hole.
