[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 344773, member: 265"] I got to thinking about our recent D performance and I think there's more to it then a change in "philosophy" (I hate that use of the word, btw). We now have 7 DLs including 4 (that's four) DTs who play and are about equally effective. We played that many last year, yes, but the addition of Branch inside and the marked improvement of Glanton and Adams means that we are getting consistent inside pressure [I]throughout the entire game[/I] because we can substitute for entire series of plays without seeing any drop-off. That, I think, is part of the equation that has led to better LB play as well; Mitchell and co. are getting more space to operate due to double teams on the DL. Being more aggressive is part of the story, of course; we had the same situation at UT and didn't perform as well. But I think we are now developing a DL that allows us to be more aggressive because its quality depth is greater. I watched. Pitt seldom pushed us off the LOS and their success decreased as the game went on. We'll see how this hypothesis tests out directly. [/QUOTE]
