[QUOTE="InsideLB, post: 244846, member: 857"] To anyone who'd listen I was jumping up and down in 2014 saying we were not a good football team and we we were destined for 7-5. That team shocked me by going to work each day and getting better. The D was still sketchy but they stopped the run and created turnovers. Going into this season we were all worried about pass rush and getting off the field based on not having established guys winning 1 on 1's to get pressure. In today's game that is a serious handicap, IMO. Roof's MO is to stop the run at all costs and and not give up long pass plays. If the other team racks up yardage through the air so be it. On pass plays he wants to generate drive stopping incompletions, sacks, INTs, fumbles, & holding calls. If he doesnt get those he will count on the red zone tightening up the secondary to stop teams from finishing drives. Problem is we don't have a pass rush. We can blitz but then we get screened and quick-gamed to death, and one is more vulnerable to big plays. We also have problems with our eyes. This said if we could get more consistent pressure we'd get off the field more on 3rd down. Guys just have to get better on that side of the ball. On O you can expect an option team to have issues with execution early. Those guys need to keep grinding. IMO we have a chance to be a good team. Right now IMO Pitt looks really, really good. We will need to get a lot better if we want to beat them on the road. [/QUOTE]
