Not a stunt man

Even when I disagree with Collin, I like how much work he puts in

I realize these were only three plays, but they’re indicative of a body, of a trend.  Again, server space is a concern, so I’m not aiming to bog this site down with 90 pictures when I can get the point across in about 20.  Stunting, while maybe sexy on paper, just does not work often enough to justify itself, even if it does keep the offensive line on their toes.

Now, as I said to begin this article, I’m biased.  I hate stunting.  I hate the idea of my multimillion dollar pass rushers being reduced to blocking sleds on the inside as my below-average defensive tackles loop around the outside and hope to generate an edge rush.  Occasionally, stunting opens up a pass rush lane for a guy like Mathis (as we saw in the first play) but not often enough, and even when it does as we saw, it doesn’t guarantee a sack.

In this case, I think he’s right.  I really dislike Coyer’s defense.
