I only listen to the games on the radio. Whats your take on it. How did we do. Do you think its possible with the new personnel we are bringing in that this would be a more common scheme for us?
I think Samuel would do well in either scheme. More common then last year? Maybe. We don't have the pass rush (that could change this offseason) or the Safties (likely not to change) to use the Cover 2 as a base. But we did use it a good deal in the first half of the season. The last few games we got desperate and started manning up and blitzing alot. So we'll see what we do more of. I don't think David's problems had to do with the scheme. I think he was just mentally jacked up and made way to many mistakes that put him outa position. So going to the Cover 2 doesn't mean David is "fixed" IMO.
Oregeron is a bigtime aggressive D-line coach. Now we are looking to bring in Samuel, who is a good CB, but excels playing the QB. So who knows. We might be planning to run alot more zone then we all think is possible.
