This article does make a lot of sense and I can easily see us going with a 4 front and using Houston and Speaks as our pass rushing end that will be rotated often to keep them fresh. Ford is gone after this season if that happens. I’d love to see somebody similar to Jabrill Peppers added to our secondary/LB Corp too. That hybrid position is going to become very popular.

You gotta wade through a lot of shit here anymore to get something like this, but it’s gold Jerry!
The new defensive metrics we pay attention to won’t be yards, cause the NFL makes you play defense with your hands and feet tied together and blindfolded. Getting off the field on 3rd down, and points will be about all that matters.
It’s interesting to see how the league adapts to this.
