Message: [QUOTE="Chip, post: 68043, member: 19"] I don't know too much about the early Beamer years, I'll assume he always stressed having top special teams, using starters there, etc. But I remember back when they had their coming out party in 1993, that it seemed that Beamer let Phil Elmassian, as DC, reinvent their entire defensive 8 man front attack style that they've lived off of all these years. I seem to remember that wasn't their idea of defense in Beamer's first few years, but I could be wrong. We already have our defensive style set, I doubt that's changing unless Shafer is promoted somewhere and we have trouble finding a new guy with the same principles. But you can't help but wonder if that day is coming for our offense. Some have suggested that it's been the plan all along, let's hope they are right. We certainly haven't recruited like a team that plans to use fullbacks or drop back passers. [/QUOTE]
