The real trick is to frustrate Stroud. Our past rush, has to be dynamic both inside and outside. If this takes place our defensive backs will have an easier time. That’s a big if though. Ballard has drafted heavily on the D line and even though we had good sack numbers the pass rush pressure was not good. We let QB’s take us apart and until we solve that going through the playoffs and playing well will not happen
Ballard has been saying it for years that the trenches are where it’s at. Doesn’t matter what era of football has been around, you control the line of scrimmage and you control the game. He has accomplished it on the O side of the ball but has tried for years to get a DL that can do the same. I think we will see it come together this year and into the next two.
