I want you to be right about the power of the pressure on the qb. I want this scheme change and the personnel decisions to work. I want them to "get home" on that qb. The cardiac pack comes in when they are trying, even getting there when some wr streaked through, or didn't get there and the qb hits his receiver, or misses and we got lucky, etc. etc. etc.

My off season would be better if we had just one more CB I felt really good about.

One more is not greedy, imo

I do think this scheme is going to give up big plays from time to time. I also think it's going to net a lot of big plays for defense too. I would rather die through aggressive attacking than watching teams nickel and dime their way down the field eating up clock. I'm not saying this is the best way to win a championship. It's just what I would enjoy more because it feels more like going down swinging rather than just being passive.

If I never see the so-called "prevent" defense again, I am happier than I have been in a long time, as one example. I'm probably even more extreme in that I'm bringing the heat on the hail mary. That might put me in the category of one crazy person in the stands or watching on tv, whatever.

I hate to say it's going to be a better defense than we had last year. Top 10 scoring defense and top 10 passing defense, it was just the play calling at the end of games when he would change his strategy.
