LORKs 2010 Draft Grades

I think we are on our way to being a top 7-10 D against the run. We still have alot of youth in our front 7. If our pass rush improves as I think it can, we may up having a top 10 D overall. Some of that depends on how Kareem does as I'm guessing the plan is for him to start. I'm also hoping that Quin improves over last season vs pulling a Fred Bennett. Heck, I'd love to see Molden and Bennett play and play well.

I think with the addition of Mitchell to our pass D, our nickel pass rush has the potential to be down right nasty. MW, Smith, Mitchell, and Barwin - that's alot of speed and athleticism to contend with and if start bringing Cush and Ryans on blitzes - man I can't wait for Sept!

Does anyone know how many blitzes of any type we ran last season? I can't seem to remember any.

We didn't blitz a ton, but we definitely increased in number as the season progressed. i think we had so many breakdowns early in the year they kept it simple. As the season progressed and everybody knew what they were doing, the number increased - especially with Cush and Ryans.

That is one of the riskiest plays but if it works it is so sweet and like a score or sack, it pumps up players and fans. I like to see blitzes from the DBs but will be surprised if we have many this season.

We actually blitzed quite a bit. We mostly sent Cush, Demeco, and/or Pollard. They didn't always get sacks but they got some pressure from time to time. The blitzes worked a lot better than they did in the Smith era.

Diles is a pretty poor blitzer. Not Greenwood bad, but he isnt a natural blitzer.
