There was a lengthy article in the offseason about how GW was going to revamp the defense and that he thought that NFL offenses had gotten to the point where they had figured out the cover 2.

Now we're running more cover 3 and bringing less exotic blitz packages in order to leave more guys in coverage, and he's letting the D-line get after the QB.

Seems to be working so far.

I am guessing that was for me. I agree it is working and no need to change anything. I am in no means complaining or anything. I am just curious, 04 and 05 we were dominant, then last year we change and get smoked. then we change to the cover 3 scheme this year. Dominant D's over a number of years generally dont change. Buddy Ryan, Jim Johnson, Dick Juron all run the same D over a number of years and a pretty solid.

Just wonder why change a top 5 D that brings pressure to a cover 3 zone that hardly gets after the QB.
