[QUOTE="Thirteen Below, post: 1036210, member: 18006"] And not simply the coverage pressure from the improved secondary - the 2nd level of defense (linebackers) are probably going to get a great deal of help from the first level, the D line. One of the two or three most fundamental principles of Hafley's defensive philosophy is that the primary responsibility for every single defensive player is to somehow make the quarterback's job harder for him to do. If the walk he walks is even 1/3 of the talk he talks, some of the defensive linemen are going be getting into the backfield a lot more aggresively and a lot more often than we've gotten used to seeing over the last few years. One of the most important parts of Hafley's defense is making sure that the quarterback has to make every single decision much sooner than he planned to make it - so that he's more likely to make a mistake. Over the last several years, our D-line has consistently under-performed both their expectations and their draft potions. If Hafley can put even a few more of these guys into a position to elevate their play and consistently violate the pocket, QBs are often going to have to pick between trying to force a throw into coverage - or run headfirst into Cooper, Walker, or Hopper, or even Bullard in the box Been awhile since opposing quarterbacks have had to balance all of those unfavorable options on a play-by-play basis. I'm eager to see what sort of poor decisions we may expect to result. [/QUOTE]
