How can you scheme with our existing defense to make it legitimate? The best answers I have seen are clog up the middle on running downs to force them to pass, blitz more often, rush 5 on pass downs...
Winning the 3rd down battle and getting off the field was our biggest problem last year. I honestly thought the last coaching staff played too cautious. Sure nobody wants to get beat by the big play. but damn you have to take a risk and gamble sometimes. There never to seemed to be a push up the middle from our DL and when we did the force the QB out of the pocket, there wasn't a LB for miles around. Just shows that our scheme last season was very bad.
