Someone needs to tell the edges stop jumping inside

Stop jumping inside! stay outside and hold the edge even if the play is going the other way
That would be on the DC to order his edge rushers to concentrate solely on the QB, and quit biting on the run.
 
I wouldn’t just assume this every play. A lot of modern day defensive schemes will call for the edge player and backer to switch gaps on certain reads. If you ever see a G and T both block down there is a good chance the DE is supposed to read that and crash down and let the backer take contain. Teams will do this to counter read option plays too.

A lot of the times this will be correct but don’t assume that every play where an edge jumps inside is them getting out of position.
Thats true but I've seen them do that on bootlegs, reverses, screens outside and not only is the edge going inside but there is no backer outside, in fact there is no one outside on many plays

That would mean they study the tendencies and know what a team does in certain down/distance
 
The end is responsible for contain. Our ends crash down indiscriminately - Sam Williams does it all the time- Liufau crashed in on the goal line- which allows McCarthy to dance into the end zone. Had he just stopped a second- that wouldn’t have happened.
Thats the point of holding the edge, you hold it so they cant go outside, either the coach is not explaining this or the players are not paying attn, if so they shouldnt be on the field if they cant do their job
 
The comments about Williams seems like thoughts from last year.

Williams has actually had a decent year.

Here are the last five games. He’s graded out as our best edge since the new dline has come together. An average grade of 70.

Our edges overall suck though, but he’s been the best of the bunch .

He’s also has two blocked field goals this year which is a pretty unique ability.

Sam Williams sucks at rushing the passer. He has more penalties than he does sacks.
