Seems like Shep will take a data driven systematic approach, which is always the best way to solve a complex problem.

I imagine the overall scheme isn't going to change unless Campbell wants it to change. I am worried the scheme itself leaves the team for little margin for error both down to down execution wise and game to game talent level wise (e.g. losing both safeties).

Five years of mostly really poor defensive play and nothing is going to change.

I wonder if Campbell will interview any outside candidates for spots on the defense coaching staff. Maybe even coordinator. Even with the injuries, there is a lot of talent on that side of the ball.

How about a self scout of why they’re near the top of the league for two years now with ir injuries? Do a medical forensic audit on everything from strength and conditioning to practice habits with everything in between.

I think Justin addressed this earlier in the season...

Great article, Justin. Is there an unspoken assumption that Shep’s assistants will be reviewed?

Have to say, articles like this (and they come regularly) are why I subscribe.
