if you think about it rush 3 and drop 8 makes sense and I will have to get confirmation on this witb what I see on tape cause you clog the middle of the field and can force the qb to tbrow the ball outside to the boundary. Where we don’t have anything at all playing that’s threatening right there really. Hollins has to by and large be tbrown open. Ford and Bowden in that much space don’t threaten boundary corner athletes to be able to get over the top of them or away from them even.
tuas arm outside the numbers and lack of weapons drop 3 rush 8 makes sense provided and this is key you can get teams behind the sticks. If you can maintain the sticks rush 3 drop 8 is hard cause I will just penny pinch you underneath and keep moving the chains. And likely I’m gonna do it in tbe flats off easy delayed release or even outflank off run action tight end releases.
and I can tell ya we’ve been using a lot of that tight end outflank release stuff of late. Shaheen and smythe that’s pretty much all their production off of neithers just not that dynamic and gesicki for example doesn’t run thru any contact. Like literally none.
also if you can rush 3 and drop 8 and still get home quick with the pass rush then your oline is really playing terrible. Just something else to consider I guess
