[QUOTE="Cam, post: 255195, member: 568"] I made a post about this in the Ted Roof job thread. I feel like on paper, a highly aggressive defense would be the best fit. Exactly what [USER=641]@Fatmike91[/USER] just wrote, you have an offense that's designed to grind out long drives and eat clock. Right now, we're slowing the game down on defense and still getting scored on (even holding to field goals adds up like against Pitt). You put a defense out there that plays to attack and maybe they'll get burned on a deep pass for a 60 yard TD. But you might also end up with a huge sack for a 6 yard loss or a forced fumble/errant throw. The latter forces a fear in the QB and the offense as a whole. Momentum is a huge part of college football. Not to mention the opposing defense would be on the field all game. Additionally, we have always had trouble recruiting big defensive linemen. They're not easy to come by and when they are found, the factories are on them. What's a little easier to obtain are fast, smart, aggressive players. Might work better to our advantage to have a defense that takes advantage of having smart, quick players like what OP suggested. I just think we need to not just change the scheme, but also the type of player we bring in and the mindset/identity we have as a defense. But this is coming from a guy who has only been a spectator of football, never played, coached, or intensely studied it. So take my opinion with a grain of salt. [/QUOTE]
