Technique and the understanding of how we’re playing and how the scheme is going to work out. We’re just really excited, all across the board for the d-line, like Milton (Williams), all of those guys, we’re just excited to play in this scheme. Moving a lot more. We have a lot more opportunity to make plays. And that’s not to (discredit) any of the past coordinators, but there’s a new freshness, a breath of fresh air, for the defensive line.

We just try to do the best we can to maximize our opportunities inside the defense and inside the scheme.”
