What will our run defense look like this year?

I don't know what more aggressive means. I'm sure Coach Taylor wants them going all out every play.

5 or more DB's on 80 % of the D plays. You can take that to the bank because Coach Taylor said it, not me.  

All these DB's. I think the idea is to cover all these receivers. The DB's are just going to have to be able to tackle RB's and QB's when they run. You can no longer have a LB on a WR in the NFL, the QB's eat that up all day.

I'll fill you in.

Not playing soft zone defense all the time. More man to man, bump and run, tight coverage in the secondary.

Blitzing more. We've had some of the lowest blitz numbers in the NFL lately.

Stunting D linemen and LBers run blitzing off that. 

Sending CB's and S's off the edge on blitzes from time to time. Stop just sitting and waiting on whatever they dish out. 

It has nothing to do with effort on a given play or game. 

Got it ?
