Ok here's my plan:

1. Attack, and do it with the right people. We need to use the faster people on blitzes. Last year I saw a bunch of Simoneau blitzes where he ran into the lineman and just played patty cake, it was pathetic. Use Vilma or Morgan off the edge, something that will actually work. Use Harper from the free safety spot, he had a bunch of success two years ago on FS blitzes.

2. Start the best people. Here's my lineup as of right now:

DE - Charles Grant
DT - Hollis Thomas
DT - Brian Young
DE - Will Smith
WLB - Dan Morgan, if healthy, or Shanle
MLB - Jon Vilma
SLB - Scott Fujita
CB - MM, if healthy, or Randall Gay
CB - Usama Young or Jason Craft
FS - Roman Harper
SS - Kevin Kaesviharn

Bullocks and Simoneau should never see the field.

3. Change the scheme to fit the personnel. I understand that Gibbs likes the man-to-man coverage on the outside, but if we don't have the players who can play that kind of defense, why not change it up? I'd love to see us go to a Cover 2, but if not, just play more zone coverage. It doesn't make sense to stubbornly stick to a defense when we don't have the personnel to play it right.
