The defensive philosophy that we have been wanting to see is that of an aggressive blitzing style defense. If we can get pressure on the QB, we should be able to get more TFLs, Sacks, and Interceptions. However, if the front 7 is getting into the backfield, the play of the Safety has to able to clean up and protect against big plays.
Now, if our Safety is so horrible that he can't be depended upon, then the defense would revert back to what it was last season. The LB's stay back and the CBs get picked apart. We essentially go into a Prevent defense that allows the offense to do anything they want, but a "big" play.
Personally, I prefer what Bush is trying to implement. It's just a matter of coaching the players better to execute the called defense. I'm hopeful that Pollard will make a difference in the Secondary. I'm still taking a wait and see approach.
