No doubt we'll get burned w/ some big plays if we switch to a more pressure style defense. Especially in year 1 where we'll likely have a lot of the same players who either aren't a good fit for the new scheme or are will still be learning. But give me an aggressive D that mixes up coverages over one that sits back in a vanilla zone and goes into a prevent on every 3rd down.
It's not like we didn't give up big plays or were any good against the run in Bradley's scheme. We were 21st, 24th, and 24th in run D in his 3 years, and as we know were murdered several times against the run under him.
