Yep. The problem with Spagnoulo's system is that it is HIS system. He doesn't seem to fit his defense to the strengths of his players. He requires them to adjust to the exact scheme that he wants in place. And then he wants to operate his entire complex playbook day one. 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.

I’m here to tell you, those coverages change on the fly depending on route combinations and that **** can get confusing really fast…especially if you come from somewhere that was primarily man.

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.
