I think what this is...is "new way of thinking"
Lots and lots of rest as a proactive measure.

I wonder if alex davis is really with the first team or if this is because tannor was out.
Frost said it was a minor hamstring injury but they didn't want to mess around and make it worse.
Frost said he actually thought Wan'Dale would go today but obviously he didn't. He's expected to be back out there Wednesday.

I'm sure we'll see plenty of the DL and LBs not specifically with the first group - the coaches want to be at least 2 deep pretty much everywhere, corner seems like the only exception. But we'll see plenty of both Tannor and Alex Davis, and I expect the Daniels brothers to play about the same amount. It's hard to hold up as a NT for a whole game.
I'm really excited for the DL this year though - the coaches can really reshape the line for a lot of different situations really quickly. 3rd and 1? Damion at the nose and Darrion + a Davis brother looks pretty darn stout. Passing down? Davis on the nose, Stille, and Deontre Thomas or the other Davis has a good amount of pass rush potential.

Or, you know, just use more than one tweet. I don't think any of us would be upset about that.
We go to an even front quite a bit in such situations, which means no one is at the nose and a LB slides down to rush. The twins can be anywhere in such a situation, but ideally inside and more of a pure edge rusher on the outside.
That’s a slight exaggeration. Last year no one averaged over 85, and only 7 teams averaged over 80. The median is about 72.
Pace has actually been going down, partly because defenses have caught on. One of their new favorite tricks is the slow substitution. When offenses sub, they have to allow the defense to sub but the play clock still runs. Defenses are exploiting that fact.
That’s one of reasons frosts offense is so hard to defend
robinson, jones or Washington can lineup in the backfield but shift or motion to wr and be a real bear to cover

The point still stands though. No one will play that many snaps in one game. Depth is crucial, especially if someone gets hurt or gets ejected for targeting.
Especially against most of the defenses in the division, whom are LB heavy. Generally they don’t have the depth in the secondary to afford to remove what’s often their best players.
Washington had his two best receiving days against Iowa and Wisconsin. Expect a lot more of that.
