Spags deserves a ton of credit for building this defense. We'll never know exactly how much decision-making power he has when it comes to drafting players (I'm guessing quite a bit), but it's VERY apparent that Spags can develop players. And it's VERY apparent that he can field a defense that plays to player strengths.
8 (could call it 9) of our defensive starters are playing on their rookie deals.
Chris Jones, Derrick Nnadi, and Justin Reid are the only "starters" not drafted by Veach/Spags. That speaks volumes about this team's drafting AND coaching ability.
We're not asking rookies to do too much. We're not asking free agents who haven't played in this system to do too much. We've got a roster full of young, homegrown players that know this scheme.
We're in a great spot...
