Apparently we will be an attacking defense flying around the field playing with energy.

Of course an aggressive defense also leads to huge play potential for the opponent. One of the risks you assume when playing that way.

I thought that should have already been the case. The 4-3 attack defense is based on the mantra "attack and react." Maybe what Daoust installed wasn't exactly what Shafer ran here. I have to say, I remember seeing the first drive the first season Shafer was here and thinking, "what the heck is that defense?" The last two years, we may have been running a 9-man front at times, but we didn't always line up that way.
But, I've never player or coached college football so I don't know the finer points.
Here's a great video explaining what we used to run here, and what was in my time as a fan the only defensive unit that other teams FEARED, rather than just specific defenders like Jason Babin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcCikeZMDFs

Need to catch a few MTSU games this year.
