I don't want to be married to this scheme or that. A green defense and a new coach need to do what is best help the players win. I don't care where they line up before the snap, that should and will need to evolve.
Back in the day, when Richie Petitbone was DC we lined up in a different formation for each down/situation and substituted like crazy. Culminating in a Dime that had DE Charles Mann over the center, Jumpy Geathers over the guard and LB Wilber Marshall & DE Fred Stokes bring the heat from the edge. That defense had 9 guys with 3 or more sacks. Playing team defense and keeping guys fresh. Not having one (Ryan Kerrigan) or two guys have 12+ sacks.
Last season Seattle Seahawks sack leader Michael Bennet had 7 sacks, but 11 players registered a sack.
