The "Spin" move: why don't our DEs use it?

[PromoTheRobot]

What I don't understand is why our DEs simply rush the outside over and over? Why don't they ever try to spin the tackle off and go to the inside like Bruce Smith used to do?

I saw a single "attempt" by Mario today. Too little too late. Maybe he tried it more but today, but he looked like a vet in the last game of the season trying not to get hurt all friggin day..

Saw it plenty today. Never worked. C'est la vie.

Have noted that week in, week out. Mario has maybe 3 moves- a strong push to the outside (he's not dynamic off the snap but can skinny that corner a little), a strong bull rush through the tackle and a fighting hand technique to go inside after squaring up on the tackle. $100m certainly didn't invite any variety. The response is either he's double or triple or chipped blocked- even when he's 1 on 1, isolated with just the tackle! And then the lamer, "he's making it easier for everyone else, if you don't now that you don't understand football" response... Query injury maybe? I just don't see that explosion off the 1st step that offsets the tackles balance.

 

Oh and is there any variety in his split, what, he plays AT most a 7inside technique. Nothing else. Nothing. Hire some Bills DVD's and learn some moves/techniques- hire Bruce for a one on one coach.... Do something than put your hand down and check your bank balance.

It never worked for Bruce
