Defense isn't my strong suit. I know O a bunch more, so I defer to the wiser FB guys here but....
Isn't the best option at this point to go back to the basics?
1. Drop the blitzing. Use exotic blitzes and disguises situationally.
2. Rely on the strength of the front 4.
3. Press coverage when Tru J gets back.
4. Bring guys up.
5. Trust the DBs to stay on their man.
Start doing it this year, and continue on next year. I'm not sure if we have the LBs and DBs to press tight press, but goddamn, all that blitzing isn't working. I liked the way we were going on D before all the massive changes. All we had needed were DBs and LBs.
Is that really what this comes down to? Better LB talent and DBs that can press? I don't know. What do you guys think?
