But our scheme struggles to create pressure and get stops. Our rush defense is one of the worst in the nation. Teams complete a high percentage of balls against us. There’s a reason most teams only rush 3 on a rare basis. For us, it’s become the norm. At least go back to a four man DL front. We did that a couple times today and stopped the run much better when we did.

The hockey style substitutions are weird too. The coaches don’t seem to think our guys are in good shape, or require them to be in good enough shape for more than 4-5 reps at a time. What message are they sending by running so many guys in and out?
