Re: Spags wins 3rd SB as d-coord

It seems like it always take 3/4th of the season for any of his defenses to start to gel. That 2012 defense never gelled. That defense gave up the most yards in NFL history and that was all on Spagnoulo.
On the other hand, the offense under Carmichael that same season was tremendous being ranked 2nd in total yards and 3rd in total points. |

That's what I've always heard. Not every player can fit that scheme, but can excel if placed into something that maximizes their strengths.
