The good :
-Uses press man coverage, so many QBs look good but some seem completely flustered by man coverage + pressure

-Develops for the NFL well : Top recruits want to play in this scheme because its basically an NFL scheme and if you can produce in it, you're a pretty safe bet for the NFL.

-Very high ceiling, when executed properly, this scheme has a ceiling that is ridiculously high.

-unleashes the rushmen
The bad :
LOW floor : Producing in this scheme without experience is problematic, if you dont produce its prone to give up big plays.

Blitzes maybe a little too much : Again, relies on good LB play to cover the gaps that are bigger from the constant blitzing.

 

Thoughts on this? I believe this scheme is big time responsible for Denzel Ward getting taken at No. 4 . I thought he was a much safer bet than Chubb.
