DIAZ TURNOVER FILM STUDY
Link Above. Sort of a hybrid of the first 2 Diaz Film Studies that really hammers home how his complex pass rush packages and ability to disguise coverages leads to takeaways -- a hallmark of Diaz's defenses when he's been solely a DC and not had to deal with head coach responsibilities. Video also illustrates the big philosophical difference between Pry and Diaz...Pry's defenses were designed to increase the chances that the offense would screw up by taking away big plays and making drives last 10, 12, 15 plays. Diaz's defenses are more proactive...designed to CAUSE the offense to screw up. The down side is that aggressiveness leaves Diaz's defenses vulnerable to giving up big plays. So it's definitely a give and take.
Can't quite pinpoint which philosophy would be better suited to this 2022 defense since it's so young.
