We have Dunlap, Hubbard, and Lawson. How do you use Young and still get Hubbard, Dunlap, and Lawson on the field? So you take Young and likely take Lawson off the field? I guess you could move Hubbard inside like they did as a rookie...but he struggled there.
I know you need to rest guys, but it just seems like DE isn't a critical need.
LB, OL, starting TE, QB, and maybe a Safety that can cover is what I'd put our needs at.
You're correct about the "need" situation but that has hardly been a situation that has worked out well in this franchise's history. We needed O-Line so we drafted two supposed dominant OTs back to back; how did that work out? Not well. We have swung and missed many times while drafting for "needs".
Now, to the part where you seem to be being obtuse on purpose. You know full well that we can get all of those pass rushers on the field during obvious passing downs. There are many different variations that can be used in that situation. It would actually be a strength. They could kick Hubbard or Los in at DT, or they could put Lawson or Hubbard at OLB. And, the beauty of that situation is that the opposing Olineman would never know who they are going to be going against. You work that situation as a defense until you find the mismatch, then BAM!
Our D is killing QBs!!!
We all accknowledge that Burrow is playing at a high level, but don't be "that guy". Joe, being an Ohio product may be a very good thing, if he ends up here. Ts, your football knowledge is better than the first part of your post. Let's try to keep an open mind.
