[QUOTE="MWBATL, post: 965384, member: 944"] While I have few illusions about any improvement in actual performance which might be made under a new DC, I simply want to see us playing an aggressive attacking style defense. If we get beat physically and give up 50 points every game, maybe I'll change my mind, but until that happens please PLEASE don't take an NFL approach to defense. Blitz, disguise blitzes, never let the Offense figure out where we might be coming from. I hated when we practically vacated the middle of the field by moving our LB's out wide. BG promptly ran up the middle into the area that was vacated. That's dumb defensive scheming. I hated us lining up our CB's 10 yards off the LOS on 3rd and 7 plays, again, and again...even after BG made clear they'd throw into the empty undefended flat area for 5 yards and fall forward for the 1st down. If we are going to get beat, I'd much rather get beat trying our best to stop the other guy, rather than giving up obvious plays. I'll concede that teams with far superior athletes are getting torched defensively. Ole Miss put up over 700 yards on LSU. USC and Colorado was a track meet with 89 total points scored. So, to me, the idea that having great Jimmies and Joes is the answer does not seem to tell the whole tale. Scheme seems to matter. or maybe is is simply having great D linemen that matter. I'm not certain. But let's go down fighting please. [/QUOTE]
