Yet I do think it's important to consider the effectiveness of individual players within the scheme. Clay Matthews is a very effective player in the vanilla schemes but he's at his best when he's cut loose and allowed freelance. When teams can't figure out where and when he's coming, that's when he turns into a one man wrecking crew. Also I think it's worth noting that it's generally tough to evaluate the play of Defensive starters in early pre-season games especially in the trenches. While opposing Offensive lines play at game day strength and ferocity to protect their quarterback, players in the Defensive front 7 are more motivated to avoid injuries. I disagree on Wilson being a bubble player, he brings too much value against the run. Id be surprised if they kept Boyd over him.</blockquote>
