A constant problem last year with the defense was free styling and not buying into the scheme. This year started slow and now the defense is rolling…do you think there is any concern from staff of Chase coming back and breaking up this chemistry?

Replacing the Dline coach seems to have really help this defense a lot

Agreed. Hate to say it but it definitely looks like Sam Mills wasn't the right guy for the job.

I completely agree with you, the free styling/selfishness issue was a huge problem with the D-Lineman and our DE's in particular. They were all looking for the big sack/big play and not reading and reacting.
For the first time in decades I recently (in the last few weeks) saw our DE's actually cover their gap responsibility in the running game and also blow up screen plays because they actually stopped and read the play successfully. In the past they used to sprint as fast they could to the QB. Now when the O-lineman lets the DE's unblocked they look around and read. They do not fall into the trap. Smart football finally.
Chase Young is going to have to play team football. The team winning is more important than your sack stats.

Good assessment. And now there's a true Alpha on the line in Jon Allen. Even a guy of Chase's stature needs to follow the lead of the soon-to-be All Pro DT. I think he will.
