It's a fair point, if you believe that simplifying the game is playing to the strength of the defensive backfield. I see it more as taking the game out of their hands and putting it in the offenses' blitz recognition ability. I always thought playing to the strength of your secondary means rushing four and asking them to make sure all the passing lanes are shut down.

Which is what I hope to see more of this year with Haynesworth, but I'm legitimately worried that Blache will fall into old habits.
