Why do you keep harping on this Red Cover 2 thing as if I don't understand it?

In the "Wash's innovative defense" thread where we were discussing it, you talk about it as "an obsolete scheme".  And my comments about it there seemed to have irked you in some way.  That's why.  So if you don't understand that play call being discussed there was strong in that situation, you clearly do not comprehend it.  And you have been quick on criticizing generalities of the defense, but have been very light on specifics of what you don't like or how you would fix things.  That's why.

I really don't know what there is to like about the off-season moves.  Please elaborate.  Because we look like a 2-14 team at the moment who just got our teeth kicked in by the "rebuilding" Miami Dolphins.

Yes.  Obviously both have an impact, but talents trumps scheme.  If my X can destroy your O, then the scheme is secondary.  Its the Jimmy's and the Joe's more than the X's and the O's.  The defensive roster of 2017 and 2018 should be enough evidence of that.  Same scheme, different talent, different results.

So what you're saying is that assembling a roster full of pro bowlers makes a scheme look better than it is. Good, glad we agree.

I 100% agree.  And the flip side of that same coin is a roster full of scrubs makes a scheme look worse than it is. Glad we are in agreement.

I think I've been pretty consistent saying I'm not a Wash fan. But I am also saying, the talent is so bad right now that whatever he calls isn't going to matter much.
