How the hell can we get Rob Ryan to stop rushing 3?

Especially against rookie QBs like he did against Weeden and Russell in Seattle?

It's obvious this team is not built for that. And these rushes aren't getting anywhere.

It's the main reason some fans think our front 7 is garbage-even though we were clearly missing a run stopping LDE in Coleman today. You have these talented CBs and some rushers and you just neutralize them by allowing each person to be double teamed?

By getting him some safeties he can trust.

Sensabaugh played much better today, but generally Ryan plays like he is worried about getting killed over the top

We dont have good zone DBs. Very rarely do you see one of our DBs in zone diagnose a pass play and make a play on the ball...

3man front no different than 5 guys coming for Dallas.

Pass rush overall is very inconsistant

Only if you knew.

1st half, predominantly 3 man rush. 2nd half, 4 and 5 man rush. Big difference!

Very true, we were rushing 1-2 more guys in the second half, and it made all the difference.

The formula is simple rush 3 and you get picked apart even by a rookie. I guess Rob likes to get picked apart sometimes.

An injury to one of our CB's?

For the life of me I can't see why you didn't get the interview when Ryan was hired. If JJ ony knew what a great football mind you had, our troubles as DC fans would be over.

We were able to get decent pressure in the second half, or at least I thought so. We sacked Weeden a couple of times, Spencer forced and recovered a fumble, etc... But I agree with the above poster, I think it's because of our Safety play, Rob is worried of getting beat over the top.

If Church was healthy and back there, I think it would be different.

Well every time he runs it we give up the first down. I bet that offenses are running at 85% conversion against that defense.
