Re: McDermott to Call Defense in 2023
We actually relied on our safeties and DBs more because of our scheme last year. Hamlin and Poyer accounted gor 154 tackles while both missed 6 games in total while Edmunds and Milano accounted for 200 exactly while missing a couple games as well.
All in all it was about a 60-40 split. To say we'll rely more on our DBs in the run game seems just dumb and it also completely goes against your reasoning for Edmunds being good. Edmunds responsibility was supposedly that he could play the sidelines and cover deep which is why out DBs played more downhill. With Edmunds gone, it seems like it would make more sense for them to play more traditional pass coverage since we dont have Edmunds roaming the center of the field, would it not? If Edmunds was that valuable to our pass coverage, wouldnt it be more productive for our DBs to play more traditional since we dont have Edmunds roaming?
You cant have it both ways
