If you ask me, they're all just "flavors of the month". The best defense is the one that your team can execute to perfection, with the personnel that you have on hand.
Sure, stunts and blitzes are great, so long as you can stop a team in base on 1st and 2nd down, and only have to pull those tricks out on 3rd or critical downs. Otherwise, you look like the Bengals the past three seasons, pulling out all the stuff on 1st and 2nd down, and then standing their holding their jocks, as they get beat on 3rd down..
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
