Radically different? No.
But more 43 and less nickel. More versatility out of the base guys. Especially at LB. He seems like he is gonna run the through the LBs more and the safeties less. And more man and less zone.
I mean, Wilson + Burks + Knight + Carter screams that he thinks we need 4 playable LBs while Lou was fine with 3 (Wilson, Pratt, ADG + special teams guys). Pratt would be 5th.
Golden has already mentioned they like Knights length and ability to set the edge and be a Vyper type. Given his lack of Edge reps, it has to be more of a run D thing. ZT and Golden both mentioned they liked Stewart's versatility (traditional DE wide, narrow over tackle, even inside). Carter looks like he can play MIKE or OLB in a 43.
It just seems like he wants more versatility/unpredictability within the base group. Lou was pretty vanilla outside of Hilton/DB blitzes and spying/dropping 8 vs KC.
I guess we'll see.
