You can't say that about everybody! Who the **** is going to play on the end if they're all in the ****ing middle?
I think you're misunderstanding. If a guy can play INSIDE or OUTSIDE, that's good.
We have a bunch of guys you can line up anywhere on passing downs. That's positive. [Reply]
Yep, they can all play anywhere, they can all effectively stunt, you have no idea who's coming from where on any given play. That's just creating mismatches to exploit, just like the offense. Oh, and they can all hold up against the run, too.
I like Ford, and especially Houston, but neither of them did any of that. We need to stop thinking in terms of pure pass rush on the end and big bodies in the middle. We need pressure from every possible angle. [Reply]
