I don't think honestly it is as much philosophy as it is ability to get to the qb with our d line. Obviously when we had Suh, we got to the qb. Without him we don't. Oversimplification, granted but basically the case. Ask the qbs we played last year if the d line got to the qb ? Indeed this is the biggest reason we are in the lower half of D1 in red zone defense, while last season we were number one. Our improvement on offense has been offset by a big drop off in the D. We badly need elite DL players, but they are hard to come by.Getting to the qb from the Dline isnt in our defensive philosphy, we maintain gaps and eat up O lineman.
As for Guy, i doubt we see him. Its half way through the year, against mizzou to burn his redshirt.
If he hadnt played by now, he wont, barring an injury.
Gotta agree ..... we have issues up front, one big issue is that we may make things challenging for a QB but we are not able to rattle, disrupt, perplex, or shake up a QB. To me this explains the lack of turnovers and big play from the front lines.I don't think honestly it is as much philosophy as it is ability to get to the qb with our d line.
