Please Mr. Shanahan... read the sig.
You need size on the dline. Elvis ain't getting to the QB anyway... Moss didn't suit up for two games and was ineffective the other two.
Let the big boys play on the dline to help control the line of scrimmage on 1st and 2nd down. Then on third and long (hopefully) sub in Elivs, Moss, Ekuban, whomever to rush the passer. Their situational guys, not everydown DE's.
Attack the QB with a variety of blitz packages and something different, called creativity. Aggressive defense I thought was the mantra from Bates. I haven't seen more than 2 or 3 blitzes per game. Attack, attack, attack. Anyone know if Jim Johnson from Philadelphia has any assistants for the picking? God, I love the way they play defense and attack the QB. Sure, you get burned from time to time, but hell we're getting burned and we don't even get the occassional QB pressure. Let's start attacking the QB and take some freakin' chances.
Until we change the dline on 1st and 2nd down to hopefully produce longer 3rd downs it really won't matter. Take out the under-sized DE's and put in some SIZE. Then let the smurfs attack the QB with some of their linebacker and secondary friends.
