Something just occurred to me in connection with all this evidence of defensive scheme change:
Due to the labor situation, this has been BB's longest offseason by FAR. What I mean by that is that he has gone from early January to the start of August with no practices or OTAs, no need to put a playbook in anybody's hands, and generally with no commitment to prior schemes except what's inherent in the personnel (including in their previous training).
That's VASTLY longer than he's had any other year.
So if he ever was going to cook up a significant scheme change, this year was a natural time to do it.
