The Blitz and D-Line Will The Key To Winning This Game

actually with 3 of their 5 starting lineman out we should be dropping more in coverage and be getting alot more pressure with our defensive line.

if we can get pressure with the front 4 and have the other 6 in coverage, should be a very interesting evening.

I believe, normally, that would be the idea. Theory is, if you can get pressure with 4, don't bring more.

But I also believe Cinncy will try to run the ball an awful lot. Young linemen typically have an easier time run-blocking then pass-blocking, so in order to protect their o-line (and their defense) they'll run Perry and Johnson a lot.
