I don't want to make this a completely Marinelli thread, but I haven't seen the love on the defensive line strategy. I really started to understand NFL football in around 2003 listening to Parcells press conferences and scouring the internet on content. One thing this team does very well that I have not EVER seen it do consistently well is stunt on the defensive line. Now, they do it at least once each series and usually with good benefit. Combined with the man coverage, the stunt takes slightly longer to develop but is more confusing to the OL and therefore has a little better success rate.

Has anyone else noticed how much we do it and how effective we are? The only thing I would say that is hurting us on the stunt is Wilber. Usually they push him up field and he allows the tackle to take him out of the play. Other than that, though, we are really good at it.
