FS is overrated in our def because supposedly we employ LS RS instead of FS SS. The coaches have said that they want both safeties to play the pass and run equally well. You do catch the coaches refering to FS or SS at times.
Our safeties may have been the worst part of the secondary, but look at how many different players we had starting. Good safeties cannot make up completely for bad CB play, they have other resposibilites on the field also.
Late in the year once the secondary began to come together again and there was some stability back there, we did blitz more. When Demeco is hands down the best player in run support and pass support it is hard to blitz him with out giving up way too much of your def. I understand that blitzing always leaves a hole, but the hole that Demeco would have left last year was big enough for two players.
I dont know if we will ever see an extremly aggresive def with Kubiak.
