But, when the pressure gets there...the QB's just dump the ball to an open TE or RB or WR because the coverage is so bad.
Yeah no team gets pressure 100% of the time either so there will be plays you can point to and say look they aren't getting pressure. But our front 4 generates a tremendous amount.
The major issue on defense is the LB's are ALL playing poorly. If we had 3 above average LB's...the defense would be so much better.
And if you blitz these guys to generate pressure, things get worse.
No , I see what you are saying. When we do get pressure there is always someone wide open. Isnt that the point of a 4-3 though? Get pressure with your front four so your LB's and CB's have more people back to prevent easy passes? If we can't do that , shouldnt something change?
I think that the real problem here is that there are creative minds changing things every year and this team is stuck in the 80's.
