Defensive scheme to blame for lack of pass rushing?
#30
A simplified scheme would help this defense tremendously. All the best defenses seem to run a more simplified scheme. Burrow said the Steelers do a few things and do them really well. Zimmer's scheme was quite simple. Press man coverage with various stunts and blitzes up front. A simple scheme but it was hard to tell what stunt or blitz you were going to get as an offensive line. Every play set up looking the same from the snap, which disguised what we were doing defensively.

For how complicated of a system Lou runs, the offensive line knows whats coming every play. It seems like Lou is stressing gap responsibility and stopping the run over using stunts and different things to get to the QB. The offensive line picks up our blitzes no problem because they always attack the same places. Extremely vanilla. But they don't want to get beat by the run I guess.

We basically need a ton of talent to make it work. We need a legit pass rusher and shutdown corners. But we will confuse those corners by making their job harder than it should be.

I'm sure we will look like world beaters against Washington's offense this week, but we've got a long ways to go defensively.
