Great gusty win by the defense on Sunday! However, moving forward I hope Lou and the staff really consider upping the usage of our DL reserves. I think in order for us to take the next step, Sample, Tufele, Ossai and Murphy have to start getting consistent play. One of my main concerns is that we have made deep playoff runs the last two seasons. Hill, Trey, Hubbard and Reader (save for missing 5 or so games last season) have played a TON of snaps. I understand that these are some of the best conditioned athletes in the world, but eventually fatigue will start to show. I also understand that the offense needs to start sustaining some drives as well to keep the defense fresh, so there is that. Lastly, I would really like to see us make a move for a penetrating 3T from another team. It does not have to be a household name, although would be nice. But someone who can get penetration up the middle. I feel like opposing QB's have too much time in the pocket. Thoughts?
