Heading into year three with Gus Bradley as their defensive coordinator, we’re all starting to see the team really lean into his unique Cover 3/1 defense. Some have gone as far as to say that this defense is “position-less” since they have so many players that can line up at multiple positions across the field. The best example is obviously safety Derwin James who played just about everywhere you physically can on a football field (defensive line, edge rusher, linebacker, single-high safety, slot corner, etc.) but guys like safety/linebacker Adrian Phillips were outstanding, too.
Hell, there was even a play where they dropped Melvin Ingram all the way back to the single-high spot after the snap during the first bout with the Chiefs.
