They're having trouble containing blitzes.

We primarily rush 4, it'll be a little different.

Have you noticed the way our front 4 have been moving to the QB lately? I would say that IF our DL comes to play like they have the last few weeks, they'll wish we were blitzing so they would have an excuse for getting curb-stomped. I'm sure Kurt Warner will vouch to the fact that Pep, Brayton, Johnson, Brown, Tyler, Thomas, and Lewis are as effective a group of pass rushers as you will find. Dude looked like he got dropped into the middle of a real life Saw movie.

Yeah I watched the game yesterday but i'm weary of the zone we play vs. Brees quick release. The dump pass is ALWAYS there and if our front four don't do 3 second sacks it may be a horrid game to watch.

Don't get me wrong a 6 sack, 2FF, 3 int game would be outfnstanding.

That was one of the wrinkles that I noticed in the AZ game that I am suprised no one on here has mentioned. (I don't start threads, I just post in them to tell the OP how dumb/smart he/she is.) We played quite a bit of zone but even when we were in zone coverage our DB's were on the LOS a lot more than normal. Playing a tight 5 yd bump drop to zone, I wouldn't be suprised to see it again and maybe even more against NO.

    • Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.    
    • Scourton may not get double digit sacks, but he won't be a liability on every other down
