Seems to me people are just cheering anything the coaches say.  What if Anarumo comes out and runs a straight 4-3 every play with the same coverage scheme every time?  You going to be thrilled by his "simplification"?  The truth is that NFL football is very complex.  A big part of it is mental.  Defenses have to be able to disguise coverages and changes things up.  If the players can't learn this stuff then we need to get smarter players instead of dumber schemes.

In college and high school the top players can get by with just reacting and using their superior physical skills, but that won't cut it in the NFL.

I'm agreeing with you Fred. In preseason we always hear that teams play vanilla defenses and the offenses can carve them up.

We definitely do need to throw some wrinkles in...especially with the LB's we have because if the other team knows what's coming...it's going to be a bad year defensively.
