Esp. for this team and having Berry's talent and run support available. I just feel its absurd to simply clog the lanes - esp in this day and age when the rules and offensive schemes heavily favor passing. Better to send them in and collapse the pocket, disrupt the qb's field of vision/knock down balls, and either sack the guy or put him on his ass and on high-alert and paranoid of hearing footsteps to rattle his timing.
As for Ray Ray's comment I'll defer to when he played against the Chiefs during DV's stint on a nationally televised game and was miced up. He whined and bitched like a little girl BC he was getting steamrolled, including being BLOWN UP in a goal line stand as the Chiefs trotted into the end zone right over him because our oline & trich tossed him back and on his ass like a ragdoll. So, take his complaint about not having his constant fresh crop of all pro dlinemen in front to wingman and free him up with a grain of salt and in context.
