You pretty much described the 09-10 team with Onuaku, Wes, and Rick the Ruler.

That's drawing a comparison to 2011-2, with one caveat - we will still not be a deep team.  I'm afraid without the insane depth of that 11-12 squad, JB will only use trunk monkey in desperation when a game is almost out of reach.   Everyone remembers the 30-1 regular season record... but there were several games where the "perfectly constructed" zone let inferior teams hang around.   It was one of the few seasons I can remember in the zone era where JB would proactively roll out the trunk monkey to shake the game up a bit.   The South Florida game at home is a good example of that.  We feel behind by 20 points in the first half until trunk gorilla was unleashed and we effectively wiped out the deficit by halftime.

I guess what I'm saying is, an aggressive trunk monkey is the closest thing to a changeup that JB will ever consider, but many understate the importance of having that defib kit... even for teams that have the right personnel for his defense.
