D-Line Coach John Palermo on Redskins Nation

I'm not sure how much of it is due to scheme or just pure lack of talent. It's probably somewhere in the middle. We really need guys like Wilson and Jackson to step up. Even if they can just provide some 3rd down pressure it would be huge.

Yes it would. And that's why I had mixed feelings about signing JT. I was looking forward to seeing what Wilson could do after his strong finish last year. Until we actually get these guys on the field during games, it's hard to tell what we have.

IMO it has alot to do with scheme.
I'm not saying that we'll suddenly get as many sacks as the Steelers, Eagles and the Cowboys.
But, we had virtually the same line we had last year + JT and we somehow managed to get fewer sacks.

There were 2 changes: 1st was going from Blache's scheme to Palermo's scheme
the 2nd was going from Phillip Daniels to JT55 which i consider to be a pass-rushing upgrade.

I agree about Wilson and Jackson, before we signed JT i thought that this year was gonna be Wilson breakout year.

Taylor wasn't 100% all year and never got in to a groove. I think a healthy JT could have got us 10 sacks or very close to that.

As far as the scheme the big difference from Grilliams to Blache is GW attacked with exotic schemes and loved to bring corners and backers. Blache plays it more straight up and doesn't get very fancy with his blitz packages. GW did a better job at disguising the shortcomings on the DL.

I was refering to the d-line scheme difference between Palermo and Blache, specifically the DEs.

I noticed the DEs lined head up on the OT/TE or slightly shaded outside more often last year then in years past. As opposed to a traditional outside shade of the OT/TE. The DEs were rarely in a 'speed rush' stance.

When Palermo mentioned doing a better job getting pressure and sacks i don't think he was meant blitzing that's up to Blache.
