Even if Chavis had them playing contain, it's mind boggling that they still weren't taught proper rushing technique. Having two NFL teams two years straight question what they're taught is telling on how Brick underperformed.

I here what you're saying, but I'm saying it's not like Brick didn't know how to teach pass rushing. He was a d-line coach for the Bears.

Haley was the Defensive line coach of the Chicago Bears of the NFL. In two years in the NFL with the Bears, Haley coached a defensive line that helped Chicago rank No. 5 in the league in rushing yards allowed per game in 2008. The Bears finished sixth in the NFL in sacks in 2007 with defensive tackle Tommie Harris earning a spot in the Pro Bowl that year.

I think Chavis' spread defense didn't put a premium on sacks using different moves. IMO, He just wanted a straight pass rush with contain.

I'm just saying I won't be surprised if Haley has a bigger impact in Texas with Strong defensively. His bio indicates he did know how to generate a pass rush. However, with the rumors that Chavis didn't want certain highly recruited linebackers, it had more to do with them not fitting in his scheme, IMO. But it also ended up leaving us thin at the position which is strange recruiting-wise since he was a linebacker coach.

But again, his scheme did work well for what it was designed to do.
