A zone defense is a very simple defense that you learn in middle school. JMO
I know. With Gregg Williams you would have guys moving around, changing position, feigning the blitz, lining up in different positions on different plays, moving around, jumping in and out -- a ton of different looks. Sharper would crouch down like a bird and just tiptoe, walk around back there, creeping, so the QB sees that and goes uh-oh, WTF is he gonna do....This defense all just seems very vanilla, even to somebody with a less than trained eye for defense, it's like they just line up and that's it -- nothing to disguise or confuse or make the other team guess or worry. There's nothing threatening about it at all. Which is why teams march down the field so effortlessly against it.

And those bits i highlighted in bold, were the key to our superbowl win vs manning

Peyton got comfortable and all of a sudden, we gave him one look so had a play designed for it, and then we'd completely change it before the ball was snapped

Go watch the superbowl highlights, our defense confused the hell out of manning with multiple audibles

spags just let them line up and manning just thought "well pat robinson is there weak link, i'm going to abuse him all day" and he did just that

would we even get anything in a trade for robinson now everyone has seen he's just jason david in disguise?
