Jones/Mulumba Everyone remembers Clay's sack of Vick in the 2010 playoff game - he came on a delayed blitz from MLB. We were in a 2-4 (which I hate - unless it's used this way, i.e. to dial up unpredictable pressure), Raji and Jenkins were the DL; and Matthews, Hawk and Walden all came on the blitz. Presnap movement, and bringing pressure from different positions are critical to sustaining a consistent pass rush. I hate the 2-4, but if Capers used it properly, and blitzed out of it, I wouldn't complain about it as a subpackage. As it is, he's become far too static with it, i.e. the 2 interior linemen rush, the 2 OLB's rush upfield, and that's it - very predictable. The players have to win the physical battle every time, as opposed to getting the assist of confusing blocking assignments, and forcing offensive linemen to pass off rushers to catch a blitzer, etc. I wouldn't want Clay to play straight up ILB, but in subpackages?? Absolutely.</blockquote>
