Just my humble opinion, but I disagree. It's Ryan's thing as a DC to move people around and give a shite ton of different looks. Conventional D is not necessarily his thing.



I think he was really creative last year because a) it was his first year and he didn't have all the pieces he needed and b) injury.

I don't think he'll be any less creative, but as the defense fills out, I think you'll see more defined roles.

Bryd is GOING to play a ton of single high safety, and it's going to allow us to do a lot of pressure looks. That's the reason we're paying him the money we're paying him.

Last year we opted for more coverage. It led to a lot of sacks and kept the yardage down, but this year there will be an emphasis on turnovers.

I certainly hope so. I loved all the people saying TO's weren't that big a deal with the defense, but till I was blue in the face I said that if you keep putting the offense in a position to drive the entire field on every possession, you're going to have a bad time, even if it's our offense.

Exactly. Jenkins wasn't that guy, pure and simple. Which boggles my mind on why the Iggles paid him what they paid him. I think Vaccaro will float between the traditional SS role and and nickel corner. If they get a decent WLB and maybe a MLB with some coverage skills, they can focus both Vaccaro and Byrd on turnovers more. We have the personnel on the line to do an effective 3-man rush. What we lack is a dynamic LB that can effectively rush the ball AND play coverage.
