It is about scheme. It is about play design on both sides of the ball.
Rex believed that when you bring pressure, you first disguise what you are doing, so the offensive line calls the wrong blocking assignments...then you overload a specific area with more rushers than blockers, bring 4 against 3 blockers.
For an offensive line, either an offside linemen wheels and runs over to the opposite side to help block in less than 3 seconds or the QB has to hurry the throw.
And this helps on the back end by making QBs throw before their receivers are even aware the ball is already headed their way or the throw is off the mark, leading to many incompletes and some turnovers.
Do the most with what you have. Create mismatches, either with talent or by sheer numbers.
And stunts should be included in there.
Teams are doing it against us and it is working.
LEARN and ADAPT!

And least someone noticed since our pressure isn't getting there enough, lets jump up and bat some balls away.
As much as Pees is bothering me too, he is trying to adapt.
He has the defense doing more things and he moved upstairs to see what is ACTUALLY happening with his own eyes.
MAYBE he is learning. The time to really perform/adapt is coming up on Sunday.
Learn and adapt? Sounds more like a day late a dollar short. Pees in no rookie DC, he's been around the barn plus a year under Pagano. Was this guy asleep during game planning? The key to Ravens successful D ball has always been naked aggression yields good results. If we wanted to see bend but don't break, we should have retained Gregg Mattison. Pees' moving upstairs means nothing other than he gets a better view of his soft schemes.
