Lineman that can put pressure, without getting out of position. A secondary and a set of LBs that can cover well enough and long enough to make Lamar be a real pocket QB where he has to go through progressions instead of just throwing to his first option or running.
Lamar is not and never will be a pocket QB, so if you can design and execute the defense to make him one then you can make him look ordinary like the Bengals did. The problem is that most teams don't have the lineman AND the secondary to pull this off. So the point of the OP is moot because only a handful of teams have the players to accomplish what the Bengals did last Sunday.
That is a damn good point even if I don't think it makes the OP's post moot. It took 2 and a half years to get the personnel to
pull this off. It is true that most teams don't have this personnel but some do to a point and it should help them out watching
what we did to them.
