I'm all for thinking outside the box and trying new things.  As such I'm fine with the all-cover no-rush experiment.  However, clearly it needs tweaking as it failed badly against MTL and SSK last season.

I could also say that "no legitimately good offense has ever operated the way" SSK did last year.  3-4 starting NAT RECs at times, and mostly bad ones at that.  4 IMP OL at times.  Mostly-short game.

If I told you in 2022 that this was going to be SSK's road to success, you would have said no way.

Hey, what if instead of going straight 4 man DL in '26, we double down and rush 2, 1 or 0?  We could basically run a zone AND man coverage at the same time.  We instantly negate the value of a team having 5 OL on the field.

Just once in '25 I would have liked to see us bring only 2 pass rushers.  Just to see what would happen.
