It really depends, I think on our secondary. Specifically how agressive we are. I think BB5 keeps us in games moving forward.

Let's face it, no longer seeing multiple 3 and outs in a row is a dibilitating factor in how successful a team is. We no longer will see stretches where we go 3 and out for an entire half or even an entire quarter.

This means we will be flipping the field most of the time and giving our D a breather.

BUT, and this is a big one, if our D plays soft the other team's offense will carve up our secondary.

We need to play press coverage and rush 5 as often as we can. We have to be aggressive in the pass rush and we cannot allow WRs 5 yards off the LOS without forcing them to battle to get into their routes.


We've seen it for 6 games, we let WRs run free routes as our CBs back pedal. That type of defensive scheme isn't going to work with what we have. We have to utilize our strength, which is our pass rush. Blitz the QB, put pressure on the WRs off the snap and make them start throwing shorter routes.

In the t'acks game, we did some of this in the 2nd half, and the D looked better. We must do this more consistently. Otherwise, we'll continue to see the other team get ahead and we'll see BB5 having to force passes.
