Our defensive line scheme change to a more attacking style combined with a greatly improved DL personnel will generate more pass rush.
LB's being hung out to dry for a long time in coverage will hopefully be a thing of the Hasslett past.

In the past Haslett didn't use a lot of sub packages in response to certain offense personnel groupings. This often left our LBs matched up against TE/RBs. League wide the LB vs TE/RB match-up is not favorable there are a few teams with great coverage LBs but that is the expection.
Barry and Fewell both use more sub-packages with special personnel. Under Blache we did something similar with the 'cobra' package that put 3 LBs on the field and removed a LB. Under Barry I could think we will see more sub-packages in the secondary. It could be Dashon, Duke and Jeron.
