Sgt. Largent":2jtezmlt said:What choice did Richard's have?
We saw it yesterday in the Patriots Jags game, if your front four can't get home, then you have no choice but to blitz. Jacksonville fans are all over the coaches for not sending more pressure at Brady in the 2nd half when their front four got dinged up and ineffective.
Same thing here, at the beginning of the year our front four was getting good pressure, then as the season wore on, so did they. So Richard had to dial up more blitzes.
So Pete can have a problem with that, but he can't have it both ways. If he wants to stay in traditional base defenses and rush four? Then he better damn well get a solid deep D-line rotation on the roster so those guys stay fresh all year, and not wear down and become ineffective.
Agree with this. At times I felt we should have blitzed more. No pressure on opposing QB’s = getting beat.Sgt. Largent":3kqbcpp2 said:What choice did Richard's have?

With injuries to major defensive players easily able to account for a lot of this.
