Ravens head coach John Harbaugh discussed how the team's defense will differ in 2009 now that longtime defensive coordinator Rex Ryan is no longer with the team: "The system, per se, is basically going to stay the same. We're going to structure it the same way. And in terms of it being a multiple [formation type of defense], I'm not so sure we won't be more multiple. I take a look at what's up there and what they're working on and Greg has added some things and consolidated some other things, and I'm not so sure we don't have more ways to pressure and more ways to cover behind pressures that we even did before. So, we're going to get after people, I think you'll see the same personality out there, the same multiple fronts, multiple coverages, guys moving around trying to create confusion. Just trying to do everything better." Source: Sports Radio Interviews
This is good to hear, It's the personality of our defense. It's gonna be interesting to see what wrinkles he adds to get pressure on the QB.
exactly. no reason to change it. it's worked well for a long time. a few tweaks here and there are necessary to keep it fresh but the basic scheme works.
