And versatility is huge. People blame Mahomes but the Bengals defense 2nd half was one of the most brilliant things I have ever seen.

They mixed and matched. Zigged and zagged. Desperate to pull rabbit after rabbit out of the hat, they did it. And it helped that they had almost zero holes. Not super stars but just good players all over the field. Let's emulate that a little.

This, this, a thousand times this.

We've been talking about it for months - scheme versatility and depth are at a premium in this NFL. You simply cannot have weak links in your defense, even if you have top playmakers out there. One or two guys can't shut down an offense anymore. There's just too many WR's on the field at any given time.

It's much more important to be consistently solid than inconsistently stellar.
