Well its hard to say.. The new system looks awesome. I notice lots of different formations, coverages, personnel use, blitzes, stunts etc. Our old system was just line up and play, which was boring and predictable. I feel like there are two problems right from the start: 1) We dont have necessarily the personnel with the right skills for it at certain spots (LB especially) and 2) Guys dont seem familiar enough with it. Our blitzes are ineffective much of the time because either they are too obvious (because our guys are thinking too much and not just going at the snap, they need to actually prepare to blitz.. this will get better over time) or the guy gets blocked because he lacks the speed, size, mental toughness or whatever. My favorite play that we have, and it probably is the one that works most often, is when just Zach blitzes up the middle. I think its a run blitz and it almost always stops the opposition for a loss. I also like when we send 1 corner, such as during the Saints game when we sent Howard. We get in trouble when we send the house or too many DBs.. that is because our CBs arent good enough in man to man coverage. But, as another positive, I like that Muschamp has stuck with it and not gone vanilla because its the only way the guys will learn, by using the plays in game situations. I think over time and with the right personnel moves, the defense will be scary. I see lots of nice things. I really believe that Muschamp is the coordinator and Smith is really there for gameplanning and because he probably has some knowledge of NFL players and coaches and their tendencies.
