re: WOW !!! I hope this is accurate - Mike Detillier on Dandy this morning

My comment touched this current nega-pumper debate, so allow me to clarify. I wasn't saying that Chavis sucked. He's a very good coach. My point is that, just like the offensive staff struggled to find a way to make the pieces fit the strength of the talent they have to work with, Chavis had the same issues last year, and this year to a lesser degree. It's the same problem. He didn't change up his scheme to fit the strengths or hide the weaknesses of the players. Hence, 2 years of struggles in sacks and turnovers.

I wasn't blaming everything on Chavis. I'm simply hoping that a more aggressive scheme, if implemented correctly, will get more out of the 4 and 5 star talent on the D line that has produced so little to date. A large chunk of our fanbase has just given up on guys like Herron and Bain, but they were highly regarded recruits for a reason.

We have a new defensive staff, like it or not, so it's time to move on. I was simply pointing out that if the scheme they will likely be running gets more out of the talent we already have, then it should have the welcomed bonus of helping the offense out as well.
