Plus his daughter is inexplicably attractive.

Inexplicable- Not able to be explained or understood



Some of you might remember her as the 'dead girl' in the My Chemical Romance music video for Helena (Link cued up to Relevant Part).

The TL;DR of this is that Wade does everything the exact opposite of Haslett.

I remember when he was DC here in Atlanta he was actually using lighter DE's up front because he emphasized shooting the gaps more than occupying blockers at the point of attack. Wonder how that would translate here. Regardless I'm for this move 110%

Wade Phillips runs a 1 gap 3-4 scheme, whereas Jim Haslett runs a more traditional 2 gap scheme. In a traditional 2 gap scheme the NT and DE's will read their respective holes and react to the play as the play begins. This read-react causes the lineman to have to first think about the action, then react to it. So they have to be larger bodied men to offset the time it takes to react to the play in order to hold your ground so the offensive lineman can't get leverage on you.

And there it is.
