[QUOTE="Whiskey_Clear, post: 550395, member: 735"] There are plenty of reasons to worry about the D. Primarily for LB play and lack of pass rush from the edge. So....on to reasons for optimism. 1. CGC has been very successful as a DC imo and Thacker gives me a good vibe also. I think the coaching aspect is in a good place pending further review. 2. Secondary play last year showed flashes of good play but was inconsistent overall. Not surprising imo due to a lot of youth there coupled with subpar LB play in front of them as well as a new DC, scheme, and likely new terminology etc. To stop rambling, I think inconsistency was understandable but I like the size, speed, athleticism, and play making several have shown at times. I think the secondary will play good ball this year. 3. The change to attacking gaps last year got off to a bit of a slow start. But I think they improved in this as the year progressed and this will pay dividends in our newest scheme as I think it’s more compatible with what we will do than what we were doing under Roof. I think the DTs will play good ball for us. That kind of sums up my optimism. I share some of your concerns also. No pass rush returning. No solid LB play returning. Lost several seniors and our DE that gave us the most big plays at the LOS. Coaches have work to do but I don’t think the cupboard is empty. I’m hoping we go to a 3-3-5 as I think that could best fit our current personnel. It doesn’t typically fit with a press coverage from corners though so I doubt that’s what we see on the field.
