I have to strongly disagree. This defense could not get off the field consistently. We had 1.088 plays on defense in 2016 (including penalties), which is good (or bad) for 31st. Only the Niners have had more plays on defense. Two major reasons for that: 1. We had the worst run defense, allowing 4.8 yards per run play. 2. We gifted the other teams the most 1st downs by penalty in the league (41).[...]
With that said, we can ONLY use the one year we employed it with OUR personnel and OUR coaches - we got great success, yardage be damned.

I don't know how anyone would consider this a "great success".
