A thread like this is the epitome of the phrase "Ignorance is bliss"
Smith, Vander Esch, and Lee have all struggled this yr for one reason. They arent getting the protection of the interior DL. This is the basis of the defense. What makes it work. The Colts provided the blue print of how to expose the scheme from a guy who was the LBers coach(Eberflus). The coaches havent changed anything since then.
The DL is overaggressive by design which allows them to be washed out of the play easily. Which leaves the LBers exposed to blocks.
Now its not all bad coaching, as all 3 have missed tackles so some blame is 100% on them aswell.
But its just like in the run game, the trenches are leaving other parts of the scheme exposed.
It amazes me how much some of you dont know about the team you root for.
