I think they try and use Daniels more as a run stopper and use the LB and corners to apply the pressure on the QB. Daniels is a good end that takes up space, like big Joe S. Problem is we aren't even getting pressure with our LB. Dont look for too much pressure from Marcus this week either. He will probably be matched up w/ Tony G most of the day. Taylor may get some blitzing plays this week. This would actually be a good week to see if LaVar can play. To use his speed and athletic ability to keep up with KCs offense. there offense is mostly on timing and if we can get a good speed rush, or some pressure up the middle we should be able to knock the receivers off their routes. We will definately need to stop the screen this week, which LaVar would be better at than Holdman. Holdman just gets pushed out of the way too much. Clemons may play a bigger role this week too, hes a pretty good pass rusher from the outside.

In addition, our corners are going to need some help. Springs is probably not going to play. So we will need some pressure on the QB, or they are going to get eaten alive.

Maybe teams have just figured out by watching game film how to stop our D from getting pressure on the QB.

Cornelius lit it up for exactly one year in NY too, and then was mediocre after that. I hope what people are saying about him being ineffective due to double teams is true. Cuz then, the answer would be to draft another solid DT, or get one in free agency.

Here's my take on it, our defense isn't applying the pressure from other positions like we were last year. We often sent DB's or LB's to blitz which caused problems to the offensive lines schemes. Now we're sending pretty much the front 4 on every play and they are getting blocked. Our defensive line last year was never exactly what you'd call great, but they DID THEIR JOB in the scheme. They were there to stop the run and try to confuse/take up space of the blockers to let our blitzers came free, this led to them getting more sacks. This year we're playing what seems to be a completely different scheme where we dont get a lot of pressure but seem to force them to 3-outs.

I think that our Dline has good talent to play the run, but not to pass the rusher. Either way, I'll take #5 overall.

Noble had 14 tackles and 1 sack in 16 starts last year. I don't think he's the answer, but apparently, neither are any of our other DT's.

I have to agree, Salavea is as good or better than Noble.

Regarding C. Griffen, he is fine. He is a great DT.

Who? Oh our 5th string LB! Why would we play our 5th string LB at end?

Since Griffin is the only real threat on the front four, he's been picking up double teams all season. Wynn has never been much of a factor as far as rushing the passer, and someone needs to explain the mechanics of the defensive end position to Phillip Daniels.

I made a point to watch Daniels on almost every defensive snap last week, and the funny thing is, he gets a decent push. The problem is, all he does is push. He makes no attempt to get around the tackle whatsoever. I guess he doesn't realize that an offensive tackle is perfectly content with letting you push him all over the field, as long as he keeps you in front of him.

Thats not nececcarily true. Some schemes that don't have prevelant pass rushers, will assign their d-line to push the linemen into the back field to close of lanes of escape from the backfield. Daniels was the first to miss the tackle on bell, and I haven't seen much of him, but I'm not so sure its the line that has the problem. I think its a combination of no depth in the secondary, leaving packages out that would normally cause pressure, having a lack of physical dominance at linebacker. Washington will shed blocks, but I havent seen marshall or holdman do much of it.
