Ryans seems to like to play man at time, so go man across the board with 5 d-linemen. Or you could play zone behind it with 3 CBS, 2 S and 1 LB.
Either way, the rush wasn't getting there with 4, sometimes because the throws were quick. But teams have been running on the wide 9 pretty well, so maybe 1 more body up front can slow that down.
Not as the base defense, but mix it in a bit.
Speaking of which, is cover 3 still the base defense?

This is an old post, but defenses went away from 5-man D-lines in the 1950s I believe because of favorable passing rules (compared to previous areas) and you needed an extra man out there to cover pass catchers. Any OC would have a field day, throwing to backs and TEs.

It can work if you play man and get enough pressure that the QB is forced to throw it quick. If he has time, then your secondary is burnt toast…

Man, imagine running the hurry up against it lol! Playing against a blitz that you always knew where it came from? Yes please!

I thought Lenoir played pretty well in the playoffs.
