It also helps that when you can get consistent pressure with your tackles, when you bring that 5th or 6th man they get there almost instantly. I remember with Suh, when we did blitz, guys would come almost untouched because multiple lineman were worried about Suh.

It would be great so see interior defensive line play akin to 2008-2009 or 2007 when Pelini was at LSU with Dorsey. Having that solid interior force COMPLETELY changes the dynamic of a game.

Absolutely. I remember thinking early in Suh's career "it's really odd that we're not rushing our DEs at all - they're just playing contain". Then I figured out we didn't need to rush our DEs because we had one guy (with help from a partner) who could do all the damage we needed on the inside and could play more conservatively with our DEs and never really have to blitz our LBs (not that we never did - just didn't need to to provide consistent pressure). Leaves way fewer holes in a defense when you can do that.

That is a very good point. If the interior turns out to be stout, how do you think that it will affect Gregory's plan/assignments in the scheme? I can't imagine that we'd go conservative/contain-mode with him, right?

No, I don't think we'd do it to that extent now. Not with Gregory on the outside - and possibly Newby in passing situations on the other side. Not to mention I doubt anyone we have will be as disruptive as Suh. But even if you can get consistent pressure with your down four and not have to bring LBs, it makes a world of difference. Not that I don't ever want us to blitz, just not HAVE to blitz to get pressure.

I can see us not sending Randy off of the edge as much, but instead dropping him back to linebacker on certain downs. It would all depend on the QB, but it worked well against Sparty last year. He would basically be the running back of the defense, finding the gap to run through and chase down the QB.

I like in the still picture before you play the video the one SDSU guy at the bottom already headed back to the sideline haha.

 
Collins has been working only at the DT spot this fall. Papuchis said he could still play DE if needed but they're not leaning that way right now.

Glad to hear this. I was hoping we'd have a couple DEs step up to take those backup spots. Although I wouldn't mind seeing a short yardage/goal line package of McMullen-Valentine-Curry-Collins. Try to run through that.

Sounds like since Williams is sitting out Foster is splitting 2nd team reps beside Maurice with Logan Rath. They think he can help this year.
