Another good article, thanks Matt. And Hollis gives voice to what we had all been thinking about the confusion and complexity of JON defenses leading to indecisive and poor play across the defense the last two years.

Thanks for this article @mshelton33 ! Great insight into what these guys are thinking.

Those two play with supreme confidence. And the Hicks hiring, which came pretty late in the offseason, as I recall, looks like another hit.

The universal sentiment, anywhere JON has been, is confusion. It’s been so nice to see this defense playing aggressive and free.
