Dropping 8 into coverage will not work against a running QB, that is what SCUM did to us. The reason why this will not work is that if the O-line can block the three guys rushing, then the WRs and TEs have time to run downfield, thus taking the 8 DBs with them. This opens up huge running lanes for the QB. This is exactly what happened with TS, he had all day, and eventually running lanes opened where a defender wasn't within 30 yards of the LOS.funman said:You make Young try to win the game with his arm. Stop the RB from gaining yards consistently and in passing situations, force Young to throw. Rush a few and spy him. Drop 8 into coverage.
That said it may work to rush 3, keep one very athletic, sure tackling spy on the QB (Danimal type of player, or Carpenter). Anytime you give a QB all day bad things are going to happen, you can't just sit back, you have to still attack but play contain at the same time.
