Interesting nugget in the press conference

[YDFL Commish]

Under Lovie they did run more man concepts, maybe blitzed a little more, but that's about it.

Anyone have details on the Dallas defense from the last two seasons? That is probably the closest approximation to what we can expect here. I find it hard to believe it's that close to a pure Tampa 2 base.

Bears ran zone about 40-50% of the time under Lovie/Marinelli. I would imagine the Cowboys were about the same.

I still think there’s a good chance we see some Ryan concepts creep in, especially once the roster shakes out and the guys get more experience in the system. If Everfuzz is as a good as advertised he’ll continually adapt scheme to fit the roster.

Yep. It wasn’t as vanilla Tampa 2 as we saw under Dungy here.
