Attacking Defenses are starting to return!

[Cowboyny]

For several years, that Fangio style defense was used to take away the big passing plays. Playing that shell defense, only rushing 4 and forcing the QB to throw underneath into tight windows.

Now we are seeing teams adopt that Brain Flores type of attacking scheme. Putting more players on the line of scrimmage that the OL can block. Mixing up who is coming who is dropping, along with disgusing their coverages. Reminds me of the old Dick LeBeau defense with the Steelers.

It is very hard for QB's to predetermine where the pressure is coming from. Sometimes these fronts don't even blitz at all and just rush 3 or 4 guys, where the QB thinks he has to get the ball out quickly.

I think the biggest problem is no matter how many we drop there still aren't only "Tight windows". Having both is ideal, but you absolutely need either good pass rushers or good cover guys to make any defense work. We have neither.

Don't worry, we'll be a blitzing team once the offenses know how to counter the heavy blitz teams

Almost every college team is doing it now. You can see it even the small conferences.
