You can definitely say that we have no identity on defense. There have been plenty of attempts to shake up the defense...more than just the personnel moves. They have blitzed more recently. I saw Diles blitz several times (it worked once). A few weeks ago they tried to do some Zone blitzing. They played a lot of Zone early....Sun they were in a lot of man. The corners have also been playing closer to the line of scrimmage lately....yes even Petey.

Maybe that's the problem. We keep trying new things and never do them long enough to get really good at them. I don't know if that's the only problem, but I a least see effort there to try new things.
