Blitz time!

I am totally shocked that our undersized defensive line can't reach the quarterback with four. Surely, I should have accounted for this in my game plan from game 1.

Selective amnesia. In the preseason, we were excited about our DL. Problem is that certain players haven't panned out. *ahem* Hunt *ahem*

I would rather be aggressive and get beat by some big plays than let Watson stand back and nickel and dime us all day with passes. We are at a point this season where it doesn't make sense to be conservative. On the road against a top 10 team, I think you have to go after him and maybe get a sack or a holding call or a tipped throw that gets intercepted. We can't just let him get comfortable and give their offense confidence.

This. We rush four and we're guaranteeing that they'll march, score and win the TOP game. Blitzing and such is risky yes but we stand to gain nothing by rushing four.

We're gonna have to do something different. Teddy getting super conservative at this point in the season is going to be a disaster. Our defense actually works better when we stunt, blitz and mix it up rather than attempting the dig in, toe to toe mentality. But you're right, at least half the outcome of this game is squarely on Ted Roof's shoulders.
