[Mike Macdonald / Head Coach] · Source Macdonald broke some immediate scheduling news, confirming the team will be in full pads on Thursday after they finish their initial ramp-up period. On the scheme front, he made it clear the defense won’t rely on a rigid blitz cadence, stressing the need for rush variety and the constant threat of bringing second and third-level pressure. He also gave massive praise to linebacker Ernest Jones IV, dubbing him the “alpha in the middle of defense”. Tone-wise, Macdonald was candid and detailed, especially when nerding out over new coach Brian Flurry’s three-dimensional problem-solving and offensive vision.
