Defensive Strategy

[aGDevil2k]

So Eric Washington is the new DC.   Good move IMO

 

What will our strategy be going forward?  It will be interesting with Washington, given his strength on the DL

Pretty happy about this tbh.  I don't think he'll gamble as much as Wilks did (which hurt us more often than it helped).  

[Mr. Scot]

With a DL coach taking the reins, you could theorize it'll probably be pass rush heavy (which is how Rivera likes it anyway).

Out where Wilks is headed, they've run a 3-4 for the past few years.  There's some speculation as to whether they keep that or go 4-3.

Not really going out on a limb with this speculation

Does Ron keep the “status quo” or does the defense put more emphasis on getting pressure from the hog mollies

Well I hope Washington is a middle ground between McD and Wilks. McD didnt blitz enough, while Wilks blitzed too much.

Blitzing with DBs giving a 10 yard cushion = awful strategy

I would like to see more of a 2013 Defense especially the way DL plays.

I wouldn’t mind getting a young DE in the mid rounds.

God we need DB's

Coach Washington strikes me as a very intense coach but maybe not as aggressive as Wilks. I think we might be going back to playing a little more zone and mixing in some man principles from time to time. I think the secondary will be find next season if we can add more speed at safety. I think it's also huge the Panthers find a young legit pass rusher this season that can wreck games at DE.

I'd be fine with this. He's likely to blitz with the LBs a lot and with Shaq, TD & Luke, we'll be unstoppable.

You can't even get away with a 5-2 in high school anymore.
