Quote:Would Clemons and Branch have looked that bad in a scheme more suited to them?


 

Did the chicken or the egg come first?

Rushing the passer isn't a scheme its a skill.

 

You either possess that ability or you don't.

 

Sure you can "scheme" a few extra rushes that catch the other team off guard, but don't kid yourself. You are facing highly skilled and experienced professionals. They see a scheme they counter it. The bottom line is that you need players that can execute the fundamentals regardless of scheme. We don't have those players.

 

That is why we struggle rushing the passer.
