Howard was like that, Kenny Young---rams deviated from
the Fangio scheme a little by going with two fairly big guys
on field...
That's a prime example of Morris adapting the Fangio system to accommodate the players on the roster. While not the classic Fangio defense it apparently made sense to have both BWagz and Jones on the field at the same time. Makes sense to me, anyway.
To me, the dominant use of the soft shell last year is another example of Morris adapting the Fangio defense to the players he had. His play-calling in the super bowl season was so different from last year. My take: with guys like Kendrick in the defensive backfield trying to play press coverage would likely have resulted in a ton of broken coverages and a ton of big plays. IOW the risk/reward might have been worth it in 2021 but not so much in 2022.
