The whole thing is depth.. & durability.
He might be able to make this work.. but if injuries start happening he'll have to try to move the ball at a slower tempo than what he'd like.
Forreal I think Haslett was running a vanilla D just to try to get some tape & freeze frames on what Philly was doing. There were no unique blitzes or packages/schemes to apply pressure. Only stunts here & there. I think running the D that way would almost make Kelly open up most of his playbook so we could try to get some type of read on what they liked to do.
Problem was I don't think he thought the players would play that bad on defense.. & the offense didn't help the cause either.... the D was right back on the field before they could even look at a picture of a formation.
