But Williams will most certainly rely heavily on the blitz, at least in the early going of the regular season, and will continue to do so unless it proves to be counterproductive. His defense is designed to generate constant pressure with the blitz, while placing a premium on man coverage skills behind the blitz. He's made no secret that will be the case, and that the strategy will be executed from a variety of packages and looks to disguise the angle of the blitz and the coverage.

I think we will see very little offensive, or defensive game planning in the pre-season, Gibb's usually evaluates player's, not victories, in the pre-season, we will get a look at what player's can do individually, but the team concept will be very bland as far as game plan goes, until the games count, Gibb's will hide as much as possible to keep team's guessing early on.
