Scheme or Players first?

It all comes down to which of two philosphies you have. You either adapt your scheme to your current players or you decide on a scheme and then go get the players needed to run it.
I generally tend to like the first approach better since it usually gives you more flexibility and its a good way to maximize talent.

Or there's just plain realism which I'll refer to as the anti-Spags. The anti-Spags starts where you are and works to get to where you're goin'. I see us as having a great deal of 3-4 talent already. Just a couple of new key players will have us being a much better D than last year. While that's really not saying much, we really didn't need to be that much better to have gone deep into the playoffs.
