D oriented draft strategy. Big time.
Positions selected.
Types of players.
Built in flexibility allowing creativity in sets and how to attack the opposing O.
Size, strength, desire, character, leadership, relentlessness, etc?
‘Course, I know the Snead/McVay philosophy on such matters, but I do sense that Shula wants to have a more aggressive and attacking philosophy and these new additions seem exactly suited for that. I think Snead/McVay went out of their way to accommodate his desires.
Color me optimistic about an improved D this year despite the loss of the GOAT. Overall, I can see where Rams D will be even more effective.
