I agree with most of what is being said. Jones and foster making plays from the DE positions to me is the most glaring difference from last year to this year.

I don't think you have to change defenses to be successful. But I do agree with Beetle that you have to turn the front line loose and let them penetrate. When I played at Russell we ran a 4-4 quite a bit. You can show a bunch of different looks out of it. More than a change in alignment I think the players and coaching staff need to get more agressive and attack.

Could someone explain to me the benefits of having the defensive line not penetrate?
