Is there even a way to play finesse defense?

you can argue though that the way we run the ball is still a "finesse". we typically dont run between the tackles and gut out yards. we use a heavy compliment of sweeps and reverses to try and hit the home run.

I dont really see it as being a bad thing though. we are playing to our strengths, which is speed. If you know your better then anyone else at a certain skill, you take advantage. And its not like there isnt hard work on blocking outside runs too.

1. a lot of star players simply do not have the temperament to coach.
2. just because you were good doesn’t mean you understand the tactics of the game enough to actually be a coach that calls plays. They would likely be position coaches.

Deion gets around this because in college you can simply be a recruiter and leave the play calling to the coordinators and still provide a lot of value to the program. If an NFL head coach didn’t have at least some involvement in on the field strategy, I’m not sure what the hell they would be getting paid for.
