why can't an edge do that right away to the qb?
Terrell Suggs did it nonstop in that super bowl.
Kap was getting hit even after the ball was long gone.
They almost gave up 500 yards of offense. If your goal is to injure the QB then okay, but it's not a great plan to stop that offense. Taking a defender out of run plays to continuously hit a player that keeps the ball maybe 20% of the time on the option plays into the offenses hands.
The best defense was the scrape exchange, but it worked because Kap wasn't agile enough to shake LBs. Lamar can shake the scrape LB and take off for another 10 yards.

that is how you stop the option qb bs.
It's not b.s. It's The New Guard.
"Ohhh,....but dont draft guys like that!! He wont have a really long career!"
Well yeah maybe Russell Wilson types wont have 15 year careers. But much like RBs,....why do we need them to be effective for 15 yrs? Give me 8 good years and shots at titles.
If you dont want QBs that run that's fine....I'll ship you some VCR tapes sitting in my attic collecting a bunch of dust no prob,....for a reasonable fee of course.
