AGs defense is too conservative until it has no other option. It’s extremely predictable, and the emphasis of stopping the run over creating pass pressure is absolutely crushing us. There were many times during that game where Love got forced outside of the pocket, but instead of the defender turning up field to complete the pressure and force a bad throw or get the sack -you see the defender run parallel to the QB. In an effort to keep the QB from scrambling down the field we give up a big pass play. This league is pass focused, so you absolutely have to be able to pressure the QB. I refuse to believe that our pass rushers are not skilled or athletic enough to get to the QB when week after week I watch the let off the throttle in their pass rush to cover a run lane. This 1.5 gap scheme seems great at stopping the run, but it is incapable of generating a pass rush.

We need to go back to the 2 gap scheme so we can get our pass rush going.
