And it looks like Cam Jordan has finally woken up, and that kid Edebali coming in late in the game to get a sack on A-Rod & a strip fumble on Flynn (against the 1st string GB o-line at that) was an awesome sight.

I'll admit I was surprised & cynical when Edebali got one of the roster spots...but I was wrong. I said not too long ago that a rookie(s) need to step up and start making plays. Edebali was certainly NOT on that list, but if this kid's light just came on, we look pretty good with our front 4 pass rusher depth.

This year probably somewhere in the middle of the pack. And a lot of times, even when we do blitz, it's a zone blitz and we are still only rushing 4 people.

I wanted to reach through the TV and slap Cris Collinsworth Sunday night when he kept talking about Ryan wanting to blitz all the time. He had no clue what he was talking about at all.

Do y'all think staying in this Base D for a while is good for our slow linebackers and young secondary? Our secondary seemed to play better in this base look.

Last night, this Base D with just Front 4 pressure with 7 in pass coverage certainly seemed effective. We got 2 picks of one of the best QB's & receiving corps in the league. We had 4 sacks as well, although 1 was against Flynn.

We did give up 2 HUGE chunk plays of over 60 yards, but sometimes you have to expect that kind of thing against Rodgers & Crew.

But what do y'all think? Stay in Base D & scrap the constant blitzing? We did seem to get plenty of QB pressure with just 4 last night. Of course, DC Ryan's head would explode if he doesn't blitz.

We gave up over 400 yards passing... The only time the D looked good was when Rogers didn't have all year to throw. Pressure is the key in my opinion, how you get the pressure is the problem. If we are rushing 4, that's fine but we need to get home. I wasn't too impressed by the defense, they had good moments but missed tackles and WR/RBs running free was still a problem.
