Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 627488">I find the comments about the simplification of the defense more interesting than the free play element of that piece.McCarthy promised "less scheme, more pre-snap adjustments" this off-season, but then again he promised that last season when it didn't take, if it was even considered by the DC.  Perhaps it is sticking this time because of McCarthy's increased involvement in the proceedings.Complexity leads to too much thinking which blunts aggressiveness and speed.   Complexity leads to late adjustments and confusion.  Complexity is inappropriate to a defense where youth circulates into several positions every year.These were precisely my complaints about the Capers defense these past couple of years.  It's about time something was done about it.  Saying these changes were necessary under the newfound revelation that offenses play fast (as though this is something new) is half the story; simplicity and getting adjustments out on time have benefits even when the opponent huddles up.  Carry on.</blockquote>
