From the Athletic (Zac Jackson). It was basically a news, notes and tidbits type article so I copied the defensive part as I found it pretty intriguing.

Never heard of that from DCs. I'll admit, I'm insulated from the rest of league this time of year as I'm not really interested; but we change DCs about every two years and I don't remember any of our DCs being so 'up close and personal' on our turf.

How many times did we hear about communication issues last year? It was never-ending. Maybe this is an attempt to nip it in the bud. If they hear it straight from the horse's mouth, right there on the battlefield, there is no room for conjecture later.

I dig it. The last two years it seemed like two many players on D saw their position and disposition as some type of entitlement. "All I know is I was doin' my job". Got tired of hearing that trash when every week they pointed fingers at each other... and seemed downright allergic to all forms of accountability.

Meet the new boss -- not like the old boss.
