[QUOTE="doughsellz, post: 238990, member: 1158"] The defensive coaching & scheme from '08 was almost exactly the same as '07. Does Sanders get both credit & scorn for getting results in '07 & not in '08? Make up your mind. This defensive upheaval is a knee-jerk reaction by MM to the poor team effort of the D in '08. With a healthy Jenkins & Barnett for the entire season this shake-up of the D never happens. If the 3-4 was a "better scheme" then all 32 teams would use it. Jim Bates turned GB's D around in one season ('05) & he did it without changing to the 3-4. He did it with style & intensity. He didn't need a different defensive philosophy. He just convinced the players that their own abilities were sufficient for success, they just needed to play as a unit instead of 11 individuals. This change to the 3-4 reeks of desperation on MM's account. The 3-4 is not some miracle designed to save this team. It is just another experiment aimed at appeasing a disgruntled fanbase. If MM really wanted to make a statement he could have proclaimed the facts: this past season's defensive effort was purely heartless when it mattered most. That's not the fault of coaching. It lays at the feet of individual players who failed at gut-check time. MM could have declared Sanders his guy through thick or thin & demanded more from where it matters most - player effort. That would have been a more respectable turn of events. Starting over from scratch is MM's last-ditch attempt to save his own job. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
