Aaron revisits Dean Pees' schematic tendencies, looking at his past actions versus words to determine if the Atlanta Falcons defensive coordinator prefers a man or zone-heavy defensive approach.

He compares how Pees' approached the defense compared to his predecessor (Dick LeBeau) there, before looking at Pees' tendencies towards the end of his stint with the Baltimore Ravens.

Finally, Aaron discusses what Pees' body of work tells us about the Falcons' potential plans at the top of the 2022 NFL Draft, and whether personnel drives scheme or vice versa.
