[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 723636, member: 4199"] No, that's not how they are born. Certainly helps though. If all you do is push the pocket, you're still not threatening the QB without an edge rush. And if it's a shotgun with a quick throw, all the pocket pushing in the world won't be enough. Also: Clark hasn't shown much as a rusher. And Guion is over the hill, suspended week 1, and may not even make the roster this year. But 2 of those three a crappy coverage players and the third will be run over on handoffs. Also: don't you want Matthews rushing nearly ever play? Ugh, you're getting hung up here. But fine. Remember the Bob Slovik defense? I do. Yes. EVERY. TEAM. That blitzes much more than 30% will fail. I referenced the 46 defense, because what you are describing in concept and alignment is more or less the 46 defense. Three linemen covering up the G, C, G. Two edge rushers. Bring the SS up into the box. Send 5 or more reliably. And no one does it anymore. Why [B]did[/B] the 46 work? The league was very, very run first. So 8 men in the box made it hard to run. So then you want to throw, right? But most of the league didn't have a heavy dose of straight drop back passing. It mostly ran off of playaction. But the whole defense shut that down. Why doesn't it work anymore? Like I started with, the Dolphins. The entire league can come out and run 3-step drop, WCO concepts. Every offense has it. Quick passes that can beat the rush stop it. Alternative personnel packages also kill it. 46 works great against base alignments with 2WR, 1 TE, and 2RB. But those are used less frequently these days. Against 3WR, 1TE, 1RB, the 46 defense has lost the moment you break the huddle. Against empty sets, you're completely toast. But lets play a simple game. You want to play base more? Draw up for me who is playing, where they are playing, and what their responsibilities are against a 3WT, 1TE, 1RB grouping. Assume 1st and 10, at about the 40 yard line. What's your playcall?
