After reading 11 billion artiles about Spags and Williams I'm noticing something I think is huge.

They both employ agressive attack defenses that blitz a lot. But the main difference is timing. Spags comes from the Jimmy Johnson (RIP) coaching tree and Jimmy Johnson was known for his timing of the blitz moreso than an abundant assortment of extravagant and often complicated blitz packages.

Gregg's blitzes became predictable. Predictable blitzes will get toasted by even mediocre QB's in this league, as we have seen the last few seasons.

I've heard several experts comment that JJ's blitzes weren't all that complicated, but his timing was flawless. His blitz instinct was second to none. He always caught the opposing QB off guard.

I'm hearing a lot of the same things about Spagnuolo and I think Sgagnuolo may bring that instinct with him.

At least thats my hope.
