Message: [QUOTE="Crusty, post: 1954826, member: 2265"] While I agree that there are fewer missed assignments and poor leverage, we got gutted over and over again on screen passes and the middle was constantly open on third and long. Our scheme certainly tends to give those plays, but not every time. How much real improvement is hard to say. Results from game-to-game can be more about match-ups than anything else. One constant seems to be that we have no pass rush against anybody. (Same goes for the O Line - we can't run block anybody). Everybody is dinged up at this time of year so that simply speaks to lack of depth. I fear that while our guys are young, they have a long way to go to get a pass rush. We may not improve that much through experience and might need additional talent to get to where we need to be. While we will certainly improve, we might need a couple of years of good recruiting classes to be truly competitive. [/QUOTE]
