Curious why our D always looks the same?

[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 186425, member: 639"] What to do about our defense is a big question. Personally, I think we might need to think about what is best for the defense and then ask the offense to get their butts in gear if they need to make up the difference sometimes. Tenuta's scheme is not needed if you have horses in the front 4. Heck, we think highly of a lot of his guys now (in the front 4) primarily because his zone blitz scheme made them look better than they were. When you can't beat beat people straight up with speed, moves, and strength in the pass rush, you have to do it with aggression, numbers, and confusion while taking risks. That is what Tenuta was good at. Many like to look back at the Matt Ryan (GT white tops) BC game at home as the example of why NOT to run JT's scheme. Heck man, what did our offense score in that game 17 points? (I don't remember). Had we played that same game with an average CPJ offense, WE WIN! At this point, I am for selling out on defense and playing to our strengths on that side of the ball, which is the secondary. Let's put them on an island, get after it, and live with the results either way. Maybe we don't have as much confidence in our offense this season to overcome a quick score. SO WHAT! Let's be honest and say that our team has been built around offense for a while now. I don't mind them having a little pressure on their shoulders, as they go, we go. At least getting after people, gives us a chance and keeps the ball in the offense's hands for more minutes every game, whether giving up a ton of quick points, or very few. I would rather see us burned on a screen pass than endure a 14 play drive taking 8 minutes, resulting in a score. WE need to be the team owning the clock and having time and a half the number of snaps as our opponents, not the reverse. This offense CRUSHES defenses when they have been out there all day and it also ices the opposing offense. IMHO, we have often been the offensive team "iced" this year. The PITT game was a good example. [/QUOTE]
