I'd like to get ideas on how to fix this D for the playoffs. Since it is for the playoffs, solutions shouldn't involve:
- Draft picks
- Free agents
- Hiring a defensive coordinator
I'm looking for current personnel, different schemes, strategies, coverages and innovative blitz packages.
I saw the team try an interesting front 7 package a few times yesterday where they only had 2 down linemen and rushed 3 OLB's (#52, #57, and Landry). It was a change up and the D did have 3 sacks yesterday. What gets the Titans in trouble outside of a non existent pass rush is WR's and TE's on crossing routs. This poses a problem because with a lack of a pass rush, these crossing routes have the time to develop and they are almost impossible to defend (they are basically "rub routes" or pick plays). The best way to counter this is to get more pass rush. Innovations like what they did on yesterday is a good start.
