RU defensive strategy

[JoeSU]

Based on todays P-S article, it sounds to me like they intent to blitz early and often as a means to try to rattle Nassib:

“You need to get him out of his comfort zone, and right now his comfort zone is that pocket,” said [defensive tackle Justin] Francis. “He’s a great quarterback. He’s coached to do a lot of things that a lot of quarterbacks nowadays don’t have to grasp. No doubt, we need to get after him.”

good - I expect to see lots of roll outs and screens and over aggressive rutgers d getting burned

I'm sure they watched the beginning of the Wake game and think that's the answer. I'd like to think that SU has an answer for that at this point.

As someone who hasn't missed a minute this year, I'm thinking that his comfort zone is closer to "rolling out to the right" than "in the pocket."
