Chick, Heurtelu/Wyche, Pierre
McCord, DP, Kirby/Figs, AQM
Howard, Bush, Carter, Burns.
It's a 3-4 with AQM and/or McCord blitzing off the edge.
I think we are going to see a very aggressive defense this year.
Everybody rips our coaches for their seemingly passive scheme, but if your last line of defense was Highsmith and Rodgers, and 4 of your front 7 were Porter, Robinson, Gaines and Cornelius, you weren't exactly scheming with a loaded deck.
We had twice as many sacks as the year before with zero push up the middle.
We gave up a lot of yards but it was still an improvement over the previous year, and we accomplished that playing 8 against 11, since our safeties and middle linebacker were traffic cones for most of the year.
Golden finally has the athletes to play the scheme he wants to play.
If after this year the defense is crap, well then heads better roll, but until then I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt, considering the scrubs he's had to deal with.
