[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 799964, member: 12283"] Scheming pressure without consistently bringing more than four rushers. That's what makes his scheme so successful. He creates pressure while still having 7-8 players in coverage. He does this with creativity in his blitzes. When offenses don't know where the pressure is coming from, it's difficult for them to block it even if there are only 3 or 4 guys that actually coming. I'm reminded of a sack vs. the Rams. The Packers showed heavy pressure at the LOS. When the ball was snapped, Clark and Daniels rushed, and Jones came off the edge, but everyone else dropped. The flooded zones made Goff hold the ball, Jones' edge pressure pulled the OT off, and Clark won his match-up to get to Goff. 3 man rush that generated pressure as though it was a 4+ man blitz. And I've been warning people for months-- while I would love to see a talent at OLB who can win one on one matchups, fans shouldn't hold their breath. Pettine's defenses have always favored investing in ILB's and DL as far as the front seven is concerned. And it makes sense in a way-- if your DL are the only players who are consistently attacking the QB (while the OLB's are more drop/blitz players rather than true every down pass rushers), then that's where you want to invest. I personally think that Anthony Barr would be a great OLB in Pettine's defense. He isn't a true edge rusher, but he would be a plus drop linebacker compared to most OLB's and he's a good blitzer.
