I hope we're both wrong.

I'm pretty much thinking this also.
There was an article awhile back discussing the changing schemes and stuff and suggesting that Clancy is not what Pioli typically liked. I can't remember shit about the name of the thread, so I'm not going to search it, but it had some good points.
I think what I thought was most interesting about the article was tha it said as much mix it up stuff as BB threw out there, ther D was always good in the base package. Something AZ was not last year. The article also stated that since there were few expectations this year, Clancy could work on the base D and get the team solid. It doesn't appear that is going to happen.
Personally, I don't think this team is talented enough to overcome the weaknesses and seams that will come from blitzing a lot and throwing gimmicks out there. That's probably why Haley wants everyone in kickass shape, to be faster.
At a high level, I really like being flexible and attacking weaknesses of a team, but looking at the talent, they just need to be able to line up and beat people first, then we can go about confusing and killing ****ers. Looking at Pitt's D, they are confusing as ****,but they still have the football ability to line up and beat you.
