[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 1938447, member: 746137"] Walters was obsessed with dropping 8 in the 3rd down scenarios when other DC's often like to bring pressure. Very noticeable from the very beginning under Bielema, it was his calling card. Why? His personal defensive philosophy maybe, but when you have 3 of the top 66 picks in the draft back there in coverage, it makes a lot of sense to lean on them, and we did that to tremendous effect. Miles Scott's performance shows we haven't lost the ability to coach that stuff, but the balance of where NFL scouts are interested in our defense has shifted, so perhaps our strategy should too.
