If we get pressure off the edge, even one edge, that will change the flavor of the soup for the D backs and give the DC more latitude in calling coverages.
In their heyday, Pittsburgh played tight man defense when their maulers up-front were getting home. QB forced to get the ball out early and DB was waiting...
Until I got educated by reading JY43's posts, I expected, say, a three-step dropback from the line from our D backs in a typical zone coverage. Maybe further off the LOS on 3rd and 17, etc.
What I'm seeing now makes sense, thanks to JY43. With Gaines now playing with both arms (which frees up Donald) and Floyd coming back to full steam, we'll see if coverages on the back end change.
Sacks are nice - constant pressure forcing early, and sometimes errant throws that result in picks are nicer IMO.
