It may be just a matter of time.

no i disagree the OL has degraded in the past few years to an average OL.

defensive game planning is simple.

stunt the center and you collapse the pocket. if the DT are big enough (IE carolina) he can be bull rushed. he wont give up many sacks but you will flush Drew out of the pocket and not let him step up. get your hands up to deflect some passes because you will be in his face.

LOT can be handled most of the time so the TE and RB will be chip blocking to help out. keep your head up because he will be flushed to you. LB 70% of the time the safety valve is coming out of the left side of the formation. easy pick up.

both guards are over whelmed trying to cover up this weakness so they too can be had during the game.

end of story.
