Message: [QUOTE="Jimdish255, post: 4884701, member: 137"] To me loading up on d-backs means you usually give up a lot of first downs and time of possession. And while you may not be giving up the "big play" as often, the benefits kick in as the field shrinks. Which means your guys are stuck on the field and maybe the offense gets the ball back deep in your side of the field. Now maybe this is nothing like Diaco's bend and eventually break lay off LOS 5-8 yards, but given some of our speed deficiencies in the back I'd prefer an aggressive approach that pressures the QB and the offense. Hope to be very wrong because I haven't seen his philosophy in action. Just not sure about the expectations placed on a position group like LB where we haven't been great and certainly not deep. But I like the Coach's straightforward responses, clarity, and approach which seems to be aggressive and physical. Question is whether we have the right guys to make that happen. Is that second guessing? Maybe, but the new Coach has been here about 5 minutes and a lot of us have been following this team closely for over 20 years. The bottom line is we don't know what the level of success will be. But saying the Coach always knows best how to win means nothing until they start winning. [/QUOTE]
