They're not really trying to hide much. It's like the Colts or the Bears, but I'm not sure they have the players to back it up. There's no Urlacher or Briggs. There's no Sanders or Freeney. It's a very different look now."
Personally, I tend to think that our talent is decent, but not spectacular. I also don't know why Blache thought GW's scheme was too complex. GW seemed to keep offenses on the defensive; opponents never knew where our rush was coming from and GW did his best to keep em' guessing. I'm not sure we have the talent to play a defense which requires each player to beat "his man."

I agree and this has been on my mind since pre-season. I uigured we were vanilla because it was pre-season but against the Gints it wasn't much different. Losing Springs changes our dynamics some but ultimately I just wonder if Blache wen't too vanilla. We have good talent but not spectacular like SGG said and without ST21 we have no serious playmakers.
