But that's McD's general philosophy, and that's why we have the players we have, it's all designed around rushing the passer and generating pressure in the passing game.
Hence our pass-D oriented alignments, often featuring 2 LBs, and the seeming lack of interest in a bona fide MLB. Our defense is laden with players that excel in pass-D, to the extent that they excel in anything.
Between Jax and now BB, this D has been exposed, and it's unwise to hold out hope that we have the talent to change it at this point. McBeane made their decisions, now it's time to prove that they're sound. So far it's not working out so well this season, unless we play sack-prone QBs and/or poor passers. Generally speaking that is.
