3rd down defensive line pass rushers

[DTP]

They used a lot of odd front against Duke with lots of success. Line up Norton or McIntosh over the center with Thomas on one side as a "3-4 DE" and Djax or Toolbox on the other side with Joe Jax as a stand-up rush end. It really affected the Duke pass protection.

It's pretty simple, young quarterbacks thrive best when they have only 1 or 2 reads to make. FSU screened a ton against Wake and they will do the same if we decide to blitz. Drop everyone, rush 4, and make him read our defense. Vanilla as ****.

Joe Johnson is who we thought Chad Thomas would be.

Glad Thomas is starting to thrive under the new staff. Wish he had more time with them

the threat of the blitz creates confusion in the OL... and helps us succeed when we dont blitz

Rush 4. Drop everyone else. Confuse the fck out of that burnt stick and let him throw the ball to us. Time for our pass rushers to eat. This is on them. Show you're not an overhyped group. And try not to leave gaping holes in the middle on your way to kill that skinny weasel.

Burnt stick?.............

I'd be curious to know how many of those 8 completions vs. a blitz were screen passes and hot routes.

When Pete reported many weeks ago that we would put our best pass rushers out there (in obvious passing downs) no matter what position they played it excited me. Reminded me of the Giants '11 Super Bowl run with the DE NASCAR front.

Seeing it play out in real has me even more excited.

Not only because it is very effective but also because it is making people shut up (for now) about the supposed DT depth problem we have.

Thought it was interesting that McCloud was the LB when they went with this subpackage.

Me too. Kids awareness isn’t there yet. Once he finds that 10+ yard runs will stop.

Quite honestly, seeing that 4 DE lineup last Friday was the culmination of my being.

Do not blitz this ****ing kid on Saturday.

Yep...no need. Let's get some INTs

No. Strong side 43 DE... DE is more than just pass rush

That chart is incredible. Until Blackman proves otherwise, it only makes sense to go with 4 speedsters on the line, take away the screen, and force him to throw into coverage. The DL needs to show they deserve their Day 1 / Day 2 reputation.
