So in other words, what I'm understanding is that a lot of people think Spags sucks, and we should be running a different defense that takes better advantage of the talent on the field, but nobody has any idea whatsoever what that is other than we like Fangio's shell cover scheme. I have great suspicion that several of you have no idea what that even is, but have heard it talked about, so that must mean it's good, and Spags is outdated with his scheme, which you don't really have any idea about other than he blitzes a lot, you know, because that must be it.

Of course, that 'shell coverage' concept only works when you can pressure with four. Which we can't.

So in other words, a bunch of teeth gnashing and complaining with no viable alternative beyond 'FIRE THE SPAGS'.

That's what I thought.

Sigh.

I'll tell you this much, Williams getting snaps is interesting because he requires a double team, and Jones requires a double team, which means we have numbers advantage on the line when he's in there. 5 blockers, four defenders, and two require a double team to reliably block. This should help both against the run AND the pass, as Williams and Jones should at the very least collapse the pocket quickly, which helps the secondary. So that's good. It's possible that even though we can't draft high enough to get a stud EDGE rusher, we MIGHT be able to draft a stud DT as they are generally valued lower positionally and so maybe if we kept Jones and drafted another stud DT we could get by with less at EDGE and be better.
