NAPA — Vanilla is out. Paul Guenther can call plays like a real defensive coordinator.
There isn’t a lot to be gleaned from an exhibition game, but a 33-26 win over the Arizona Cardinals provided a window into the future that includes a willingness to send extra pass rushers.
“It was fun,” Guenther said Saturday following a morning practice. “A lot more speed on the field. We can cover. We’ve got guys that can blitz, guys that can play the run. I told the players, you know what’s it’s supposed to look like when it’s right and we had some glimpses of that the other night.
