Preseason I was excited as with so many tweeners that could blitz or drop that we would have like you said more double mug or in general more creative ways to get a bunch of players near LOS so OL doesn’t know who’s dropping and who’s blitzing creating confusion and chaos.

I’m not as energized to dive into this team as I have been in past teams, if I were I would rewatch MSU and chart this but I felt like first half they were running more 4 man front and keeping more players closer to LOS. Then second half back to more base 3-3-5 with no one near LOS and D imploded.

Coach has to go. At the very least, fine him a paycheck. Sandlot coaches would have figured out the strategy there. Supremely stupid.
