This year, you could look at the depth of the rotational pass rushers in Hodge and Sample (and would have been Ossai, damn it) to complement Hubbard and Hendrickson and they SHOULD be able to do a better job getting after the QB.
Mike Hilton off blitzes will also help.
So much in defense comes from being able to rush the passer. I really hope they give Cousins a nasty welcome to the tune of 5 sacks, a FF, and a couple INTs.
the fact Cousins is not too mobile i think will give us plenty of opportunities to sack him. i predict 4 sacks and a close game and i think stopping cook is the real key.
