But to continue to dial up blitz schemes that teams are struggling with and generate pressure when he's getting very very little from the DL when they don't send extra rushers is really impressive.
This defense isn't succeeding despite Spagnuolo right now - it's succeeding because of him. The secondary and the well timed, creative blitzes are what's keeping this defense humming and those are both directly attributable to Spags work.
Didn't care for the hire and have never been super impressed by him here (though I have always said the guy can coach the shit out of a defensive backfield), but to this point in the season he's been a big time difference maker for us.

One more time for the idiots in the back bitching about the defense last night when they were down 2 DL in the middle of the game along with the other injuries/suspension.
