Base defensive set: Monster 3-2

Outlook: Hayes is encouraged by his team's early understanding of new terminology with his monster defense, which employs a 3-2 front and places heavy emphasis on a playmaking safety alongside two cornerbacks.

"How well we're going to do is going to be determined by how well we block and tackle," Hayes said.
