LMTYS: Gannon's Wood Stove Defense

Big Sal stayed up until 2 a.m. doing homework on new Packers defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon because he refuses to be another jabroni screaming opinions without facts. Gannon's scheme is a wood stove — the defense only works when the pass rush provides the right firewood. From the disastrous 2021 Eagles season to the record-setting 2022 Super Bowl run, to adapting in Arizona by blitzing when the front four was weak, Gannon proves he's a problem solver, not a scheme guy. With Micah Parsons, Javan Hargrave, and Zaire Franklin in Green Bay, the stove just got premium oak. Key discussion points: - Gannon builds schemes around players, not the other way around - 2021 Eagles: 25th in DVOA, 70% completion rate allowed - 2022 Eagles: 70 sacks, #1 pass defense, Super Bowl appearance - Arizona 2024: abandoned no-blitz philosophy, top-10 pressure rate - Green Bay 2026 outlook with Parsons and Hargrave returning Tell Professor South in the comments if the front gets home this year.
