I was against Martz from beginning. His scheme has been figured out, same as the 46 defense. Absolutely agree with the benefit of continuity. Been preaching that for years...
You are correct in saying angles can be taught. It ends with that though. Angles don't mean a thing unless you have the instincts to use them "in time". Bostic was horrific last year(instinctively and technically). If he makes it to average this year, it will be a huge victory for this team.
Was just thinking about how we have great optimism each year for our team. Over the last decade, has any team had better propaganda than what comes out of Halas Hall? Some years I'm full on kool aid, others I call BS. This year, I'm excited!
My take on the fuller pick is this: They saw the greatest value here for the following reasons.
1) Dude is solid in every aspect.
2) Tillman and Jennings are the wrong side of 30, with no suitable replacements.(Fuller will play over 50% of the snaps)
3) Servicable safeties are 5 to 1 easier to find than suitable corners.(simply not a premier position)
4) Our safeties will be better because the front 7 and corners will be greatly improved. They simply will be able to be safeties again, instead of linebackers.
