Sure, that's a big part of it too. My point was just that without the personnel moves, the vision doesn't come to fruition.Texas Vike wrote:Definitely, personnel was a key part of the swift transition. But IMO it was also having an overarching vision and scheme and knowing what kind of players would work with that vision.
But they weren't and that's where I think the personnel moves show up the most. They were often overmatched because they didn't have the necessary personnel. That could leave players so open it looked like the team was in prevent even at times when they weren't!I think the biggest improvement has been vs. the pass. We used to be so easy to pick apart through the air--we seemed to be in prevent D the whole game.
He deserves it and so does Spielman. My point is just that fixing it is only possible when a coach has the tools/players for the job. The Vikes need to do on offense what they've done on defense because I think they're missing some tools from that toolbox.Now we play tough and physical in the secondary and even without perfect personnel we are doing pretty darn well in the secondary. I have to give huge credit to Zimmer on fixing what was a horrible defense.
I also think I've stretched that analogy to the breaking point.
