re: What does Booger McFarland know about our defense that we don’t know?

It’s pretty obvious Aranda is trying to teach zone concepts to a bunch of man coverage cbs and green young guys in back end.

^I agree with this.

When the Aranda hire was announced, I watched/read everything I could on him and his defenses. Seemed like zone-blitzing (i.e. Dick LeBeau and Steelers) was a big part of his scheme. However, when he got here we really didn't see any of that. I guess when you have elite DBs that can blanket in man coverage, you tend to rely on that heavily instead.

I think all the disdain for Aranda is waaaay too early and this defense will get it together. And if done right, could be on par with or better than offense.
