Well then, you should go ahead and coach DL in the NFL....Dawgs0916;2864340 said:Oh God.
In a 3-4 defense, the NT is head up or shaded on the Center, which then gives the two guards plenty of ability to chip or full out double him.
Guards don't jump outside to help with a DE unless they are pulling, or doubling, and in all the time I played offensive line there was not a single time I double teamed a DE that was shaded head up or outside me with a guard, that doesn't make football sense.
Ratliff got sacks because he's relentess and a strong pass rusher.
Oh wait.
Wade made sure to make mismatches on the line.
It's not a knock on Ratt, but his penetration was in part due to pressure from Ware and the DEs. Ratt is a great pass rushing DT, but if you look at the games last year you can see Spears' and Canty's pressure opening up things for Ratt. It's common sense, X and O don't translate into on field situations all the time.
