Where is our pass rush coming from?

And OLine is a weakness considering RT and the lack of depth. One or two injuries there and we're in deep doo doo.

pass rush besides the blitz will be a problem i give you that, but no way is our O-line going to be a weakness. We are stacked up the middle, Hickey is all league potential and Foy with Knapp backing him up is more then adequate. Tackle depth is a concern, but no way is it a weakness.

This year compares to 2010, we had Ryan as an unknown QB, but a stout defense with a punishing ground game. Carter and Bailey chewed up yards and time, Ryan was able to be a caretaker. This year we have Smith, maybe not as tough as Carter, but between PTG and Morris better depth, and probably a better line.

Last year we didn't generate much 4 down pressure either. Sharpe was a beast in the Pitt game but other games didn't. I see it as the same as last year - Stop the run with the inside guys (a real strength), exotic blitzes, single coverage apart of the time (only our corners should be much better.)
