As with any article or opinion, you can draw up as many positives and negatives as you want and of course whatever side is best for the person reading is the side that will be touted.
Common sense tells Chavis that his defense will feel less pressure if the offense scores more points. Sure. But, and I'm sure he knows this I'd assume, it isn't that cut and dry. A quick scoring offense or one setup to score quickly can also put a lot pressure on the defense with 3 and outs, not using a lot of TOP, etc. I get that A&M fans aren't expecting a top 10 defense. I'm just saying. If he is truly getting frustrated by the offensive performance, he'll have his moments to deal with at A&M as well. Overall, its a better situation offensively though obviously.
It will be interesting to see how Chavis uses his scheme at A&M. Myles Garrett is a fantastic talent, but Chavis had some fantastic and talened DEs at LSU that just couldn't get consistent pressure. Was it players or coaching? I guess we'll see. LSU just didn't sack the QB while Chavis was here much at all.
The biggest thing I'd be concerned with as an A&M fan would be press coverage with CBs and relying on them A LOT. Well, until the game is close and then suddenly deciding to play off of the ball and allow 10 yard pass after 10 yard pass. A&M just doesn't have the secondary talent or depth yet to rely on its CBs to cover that extra 1-2 seconds if the QB isn't feeling pressure.
It will be fun to follow.

The talent level at CB is my biggest concern with his scheme. We need to get deeper at CB for me to feel really confident about where our defense is headed
Overall I think we expect some improvement just based on the scheme. Everything that has been said about Snyder was that assignments were so complicated and nuanced that players were thinking far too much instead of just reacting. It was obvious to a lot of us because all 11 heads seemed like they were turned looking at the sideline pre snap on every play.

I think the d will be better with chavis, but last year the offense was one deminsional, must like LSU. Y'all couldn't run the ball or stop the run. That rt there won't win you the sec. Just like LSU could run the ball, but couldn't pass. Still need a balanced offense.
