One of the things that I think could be really exciting about running this defense, is the potential for turnovers. BD's big, slow defense does not lend itself to forcing TOs. But smaller LBs, and big safeties flying around the field and popping people certainly does.
For a supposed D genius, it is hard to create turnovers or force tempo on D when DL is not designed to generate pass rush, you don't bring DBs or LBs to blitz, and you have DBs playing 20 yards downfield. It's one thing to keep the play in front of you, hoping for a mistake; its another to apply pressure, and create mistakes, including turnovers
