We got to get pressure upfront and we have got to get some blocking (downfield). You have to command/demand some double teams on the line of scrimmage its the real way you get penatration and blitz going. |

Re: Who Thinks Our D-Line Suck Now?
Just watched all of J'ville's pass plays from Sunday (up until CBS cut to the Bengals game). There were 4 blitzes:
1. Result was a hurry and an "injury" to Gray. 2. Gray was pressured and sacked, the result was a holding penalty. 3. Hurry, but Gray got it off for a 5 yd gain, result was a 4th down attempt, int, TD. 4. This was a nickle blitz from Craft. Gray saw it, hit the slot on the out for a TD. Every other play we brought 4 rushers against 6 blockers. |

Now, how can you seriously say that DL and OL are the places we need players? Because of screen passes and pass D? Talk about seeing the "big picture". Who's covering the recievers? Isn't CB a position if dire need? If you want more pressure, what about LB? The only way to blitz is to blitz. Maybe a DT to get ready for HT to retire...maybe, but not in the first round. As for the OL, they're one of the best in the league, period. Five sack in 8 games - one of which is dubious at best - is outstanding especially if you consider the poor play in the first three games (which can be partially credited to the overly complicated blocking schemes that were later taken out). The only QB's that have been sacked less are Matt Leinart and Kurt Warner who both have 4....and play for the same team. The crazy thing about it is, there's deapth on the line. Strief and Goodwin are quaility backups and who knows how Alleman and Bushrod will turn out. They're young, too. The only one over 28 is Nesbit who's 30. You can never have too many OL-men, but we need a back-up QB and a power RB just as bad. |
