lets just be glad we got callahan and an o-line. maybe thatll help keep our defense off the field, anyway
Not true. In one of the articles that came out about sutton Mangini was quoted as saying he will be more involved in the defenses this year.
Which I would take to mean more involved from the start rather than when its dragging its dead ass about. We will never be able to do more than speculate how much of a role he had, but something changed at the bye weeks and I doubt it was Sutton both times.
To my uneducated eyes a lot of the defensive problems came from somewhat vanilla schemes designed to minimise the shortcomings of the players playing. With Pace's versatility and Jenkins at nose we should have many more options and Mangini/Sutton can hopefully be a bit more creative, innovative and most importantly aggressive from the off.
