A lot of great points made. Even though it's just one game, it shows how to two DCs drastically use their talent. One has a system, and his players HAVE to fit in the system or they won't work and won't play, hence why it takes multiple years to see success. The other has a system that can altered to the strengths of the players that he has. Think about how CJ Hicks was wasted along with trying Sawyer in the "Jack". Seems like Patricia will utilize guys where they can fit, and not force square pegs into round holes. This will help immensely going forward
And to add, this is why it takes multiple years for Knowles' system to be fully implemented as opposed to Patricia. Who's system he was able to simplify and incorporate players how again, to their strengths and no have to change their play

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Just sayin': Sort of like pushing the "blocking sled" in practice......

I said this before the season and I think even after 1 game I’m ready to state it as fact. This is a better back 7 than we had last year.
I think Matthews is a big upgrade, IGB you can tell really worked on his technique, Downs is everywhere, McClain really played solid, and the two LBs are just a nightmare. The LBs have to be the best set of backers since when? I’d imagine Hawk/Carpenter?
Then the scheme is really interesting for the front four/pressure. Damn, you can really tell the high level football that Patricia has brought.
I’m so damn excited to see how this defense builds on each week. Also, that PSU matchup with Knowles is going to be fun.
