The reason for the deep drops (7 steps) is that we were sealing off the outside with extra blockers. If you noticed our H-back and Rb would never line up directly behind the quaterback in ovious passsing plays. That basically takes away a speed rusher coming off the edge, can make d-linemen bull rush. Ovouisly if the quater back is further back you have to bull rush a greater distance and takes more time to get to the qb.
