[QUOTE="Techster, post: 92958, member: 360"] What a lot of defenses are doing these days is moving their best pass rushers around the line to create favorable matchups based on the situation. Your example of JJ Watt is spot on. Was watching him play against the Steelers last week, and they moved him to every spot along the DL. Same thing with Robert Nkemdiche at Ole Miss, and what USCe did with Jadaveon Clowney. Just like our offense, we need to put our playmakers in position to make plays. I think on obvious passing downs...those 3rd and long we always seem to get burned on when we can't create pressure, we need to move Gotsis to the outside so he's 1v1 with the OT, versus getting neutralized in the middle. I'd rather us occupy a blocker up the middle with Gamble/Green/whoever, have Gotsis rush from the outside, and bring a blitzing LB down the middle or from the edge. I'll take Gotsis 1v1 with anyone, and create another "pressure spot" from a blitzing defender. Our defense was still pretty bad yesterday (when not forcing turnovers), but things looked A LOT better when we brought pressure. Gotsis looked really good at DE the times he was able to play there. He didn't always make the play, but he brought pressure and collapsed his side of the pocket. [/QUOTE]
