They look like crap trying to run the ball. Maybe we can stack it at the line and blitz.

Looks like you can throw on them too. Of course Murray looks awesome this season.

You're saying we get to Mett with our front 4?

Are you saying that we don't -- because we didn't "get to" the QB in the 3 quick hitter spread offenses we have played thusfar this year?

We are near the top of the league this year in TFL/game after being 13th of 14 last year. That says the front 4 are getting ALOT more push...

I'm seeing a lot more push this year and people bitching about not seeing it just don't want to. We are in our opponents backfields putting pressure on the qb and the run game. Pressure does not equal sacks sacks on every play or tackles for loss... pressure equals forcing the play to not run as it was intended to (unlike last year). Also, no one cares to mention how many passes we have batted down or deflected at the line thus far this year, either. That doesn't happen without push.

Defensive push is not an issue this year, however, our safety/cornerback communication could be. Any breakdown in communication will result in him being able to find the open man. That is my biggest defensive concern.
