Pass Rush Improvements

Has anyone noticed an improvement in the pass rush over the past 3 games. I have and seen a large part due to pressure from Kruger taking advantage of the Suggs double team and Cody stepping up. I am hoping the rest helped Ngata.

I hope to see Upshaw rushing in passing downs at times but he will be doing more of that next year when Kruger is an FA.

I hope having McPhee healthy will help also.

I think Ellerbe has provided a lot of pressure from his A-Gap blitzes. I like that as soon as he hits the hole his gets skinny to slice through and force the QB out of the pocket.

It's more due to the competition than anything else. Going against a rookie QB one week and a crap o-line the next week is going to make you look pretty good.

I think Suggs is huge here. Plus if a few more on the line get healthy. Going to need it with the secondary banged up.

Of course it isn't how you start, its how you finish. I'll grade the D when the season is over. Lot of injuries this year.

Suggs is a great point too. He's a good a rusher as everyone else combined. Getting Suggs back was huge
