Rushing the passer

  • I think our D is going to be pretty stellar this year but who is going to step up and be the dominant pass rusher? Tuitt, Williams, Shembo, Councell, just not sure any of them can be consistent. WIll be interesting to follow during the season.

    Maybe Rabassa steps up & buries some QB's come fall.

  • This is a really interesting question because there are so many questions/possibilities.

    Can the NT's bring pressure up the middle so that they demand a double team? A must in a 34, and a good chance that they can.

    Can either the 3 or 5 technique also demand a double team? If so, Diaco can become the mad scientist, bring pressure from different positions, inside and out, thus being unpredictable.

    If the front three (or four) can disrupt, then the LB's must be able to take advantage, just be lethal. Huge question, in my mind.

    There is a ton of talent in the front 7, but are they ready to exploit, execute team defense against UM, MSU, OU, etc.

    Who can actually get to the QB? Who can stop a runner on the way to the QB?

    The more I think about this team, the more I feel like Sgt. Schultz.
