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.


Makes sense. The defense we ran only depended on one true LB, which was the middle linebacker. OLBs are usually a converted safeties. Speed vs size.

While we had a statistically great defense last year, I don't think anyone who watched them would rank them up there with our great aggressive defenses of the past. We played a bend but don't break scheme which worked most of the time. But also as we saw, we gave up some back breaking drives to end halves and games that cost us.

I'm all for putting pressure on the offense and making them make a play to beat you. And with the talented secondary we have, they will be even better with pressure on the QB from the front 4. Will open up so many more things we can do with our defense.
