I think they were arrogant enough to think they didn' "need" to bring a pass rush.... 
I mean, sure the front four "tried" to get to the Cleveland QBs--as Herm said in the post-game....
But when they can't get to the QB, they need to mix it up with more stunts and blitzes. They sat on those Sunday. SAT on them.
FTR, I'm not saying we are one of the better pass rushing teams in the league, but if we need to.....we CAN get at the QB. On Sunday we chose not to get after the QB. That's just inexcusable in my mind.
If you doubt me, watch them the rest of the season. Seriously. |
I hope this is not true. Every coach in the league knows that you don't look past any one team. I have noticed that we have our best defensive games when we line everone up on the line of scrimage, and then blitz/drop back various people. I noticed we did that maybe once or twice in cleveland. Against a rookie, we should have been doing that all damn day.
