Highly doubt he plays DT. We don't really have another SSDE on the team and he generates a pretty good pass rush imo.
As long as he plays like him..He’s on that Pinckney diet I see
Excellent point and this has been my main criticism of Diaz. I realize that creating mayhem and confusion is one of the core tenets of his philosophy but Diaz must realize that he has a DL that is more than capable of generating pressure on their own. He must also realize that by engaging in the type of excessive and gratuitous blitzing he is known for, he is handicapping his defense's ability to defend the pass which has led to our atrocious 3rd down conversion rate on defense. This forces the defense to stay out on the field much longer than they should especially given the talent level on defense.Certainly works as a situational pass rush line. However, if they're going to continue to sub like that in obvious pass situations, I'd prefer they dial back the blitzing. What's the point of putting 4 pass rushers on the line if you're bringing the house anyway?
