More plays than it we would try a LB stunt and have 2 to 3 guys all tryingnto fill the B gap with 1-2 left over to cover the other 75% of the OLIne. It's a reason teams bashed us on runs and why we couldn't get pressure on passes. We essentially would have 3-4 defenders (LB's & DL) all trying to pressure the same area of the OLIne and basically eliminated themselves and made the other 3-4 of the front 7 to cover backs/te's and get pressure at the same time.

Richie blocked more of our own LB's this year then the opponents because he looked more lost than a freshman on first day of classes.
Absolutely 100% correct!
