[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 79925, member: 639"] Well, when you are defending the option, rushing 4 and still not having safety help up top is the order of the day. You have to make up for the optioned off player, in terms of manpower, and the safety does that usually. The advantage we will have playing a more conventional offense in the coming weeks is that safeties can now back up and give help to the guys on the boundary. Blitzing is less risky when you have guys back. Right now, I would say it has been established that if we want any kind of consistent pressure we will need more than 4 on the rush. I hate to say it, but it is my honest assessment at this time. At DE, Freeman is going to be good but he is really being pushed ahead of a normal development pace by us. Rook-Chungong is decent but far from an elite pass rusher. So that leaves us with DTs, who will face a lot of double teams unless a fifth guy is coming too. I don't want us to panic. We have a lot of the same guys back who showed they can play a little bit. There are some pieces that have yet to be fully replaced, however. JA and JT are the two that come to mind, but we have to remember BW too. He was an interesting cat who could cover fast guys as a LB. I think Jemea has been the closest to being replaced at this point. We haven't found a rush end yet and we have gotten smaller with Demond replacing Watts. I have been saying this for a while now, no defense will look good when the guys up front aren't getting it done. If you can win a draw and hold point at the LOS on defense against the rush, then the run fits all work. If you get some pressure with 4, then 7 guys in coverage can look pretty good. That field starts to look deep and wide when there are only 5 guys back (because 6 are needed for pressure) and one has to shadow the QB. [/QUOTE]
