Whoever the new DC is him and his staff need to take a good hard look at not only the LBer and secondary players but at how they work together, what the scheme is and who's a fit and who isn't ?

I wouldn't at all be surprised by some cuts and moving around on the back end. We have to get better in coverage, get off the field on 3rd down, create some turnovers and on and on.

We may be in for some pretty big changes ?

I'm hoping for some serious changes, particularly on defense.  Seems like every year, for the past 3-4 years, there has always been offseason talk about doing some different things defensively.  Then come regular season, it's the same old 4-3 that can't cover a TE, and gets beat up the gut on short yardage plays.

I know they've talked about showing more 3-4 look, and going to some 3 Safety stuff in the past, but it never really seemed to make it to "prime time".  I wonder how much of that was Marvin, and him wanting to stick with what he knows, and being afraid of change?  

I guess that I'm most excited about the prospect of seriously going with some 3 Safety stuff.  Yeah, I know that we flirted with it some, about 5-6 years ago, but it never really took hold.  Could have been the personnel that they were trying to use as the key guy?  Anyway, bringing in a Landon Collins would show me a wholesale commitment to doing something different.
