NFC NorthOFF: West CoastDEF: Aggressive Multiple

1st Pick

#25

Scheme ConfidenceTier 1Full Continuity

Johnson returns as both head coach and offensive coordinator, bringing full continuity to a West Coast system he's been running empirically. His career fingerprint shows 52% shotgun usage and heavy motion concepts, which aligns perfectly with the 2025 team data showing 53% shotgun and 59% motion rate. Allen also returns as defensive coordinator with his Aggressive Multiple scheme intact, featuring empirically-driven blitz packages at 29% rate with heavy pressure concepts. Both coordinators have their own playcalling data rather than inferred schemes, creating high confidence in scheme projection.

Key Concerns

▸Man coverage ability sits at 14 out of 100, creating a large mismatch with Allen's aggressive scheme that requires defensive backs to handle isolated situations when blitzes are called.

▸Zone scheme fit grades at just 21 out of 100 for the running back group, directly conflicting with Johnson's West Coast system that relies heavily on outside zone concepts.

▸Pass rush production at 41 out of 100 undermines Allen's blitz-heavy approach, as the scheme depends on either natural pressure or successful manufactured pressure to function.

▸Multiple offensive line starters on one-year contracts create potential continuity issues for an offense that demands precise timing and protection schemes.
