Jenkins out for a couple of weeks

Blitz, but don't send the house very often. Even I could work a defense over in the NFL if the consistently rushed 3 at me. The WR's will eventually shake coverage and get open.

Ideally I'd only like to rush 4, but if we jump on them early I think sending 5 regularly would work just as well given Stanton's inexperience. Take advantage of his inexperience. Don't give him time to think. Force him to make quick decisions. Sooner or later he's gonna make the wrong one.

Yep.

In fact, isn't this one of the built in advantages of the 3-4 defense? You show five or even six coming in the rush in order to force the offensive line to switch up protections on the fly, and then you drop eight into coverage. As a change-up pitch in baseball keeps a hitter off-balance, the opposing offense is forced to guess what is coming in terms of coverage and rush.
