If dropping someone else into coverage helps get Hoecht to the QB, I am ok with it.
Isn't the idea of dropping a DL into coverage supposed to surprise the offense since they don't expect it? I think if not overdone we'll be ok. It will be up to Shula to determine if there is an advantage to dropping others for Hoecht is worth it or not.
I don't think we'll see it often but won't be surprised if we do.
Yes, that is also a workable solution. But if the DL that drops into coverage is worse in that role than Hoecht, doesn't that make a bad situation worse?
I guess we won't know unless we see it, but I suspect Hoecht is better in coverage than Kobie Turner, Bobby Brown III, or Braden Fiske. But maybe, as you suggest, that move will confuse the OL enough that the pass rush gets home before the coverage can be exploited.
