Because of Blache's schemes though, you don't know this. That's the point. We invest a lot of resources in getting veterans who can pressure the QB, and then we blitz all day, thereby wasting all the resources we use. I don't know what else I can tell you than this. Yes, we need more youth on the DL. But the current edition should be productive. Blache, too often, doesn't let them produce, instead opting to simplify the game for a young QB. Our coverage is iffy in man, but usually top notch in zone.
How can you say this? I mean, Andre and Taylor and Griffen, I guess there all above average, but in any situation where the 'skins only rushed 4, no one even gets close to the QB. This happened in multiple games, but none as obvious as the Baltimore one.
