It is. Sparingly might be ok. Can't afford for Taylor to take too many hits and get injured.

D Line is solid and the Oline is a beast. Not sure I like Satt's strategy of not getting in receivers faces and allowing short passes. I know he wants to avoid big plays but allowing teams to march down the field with a passive pass def strategy hoping our dline gets sacks is not always the best way.
Also when you sit back and allow the short, quick pass there is no time for the dline to get sacks.

I think that we play off the los on the outside to prevent the big play, partly because I don't think that our safeties are reliable enough to provide over the top help to Duck and Williams. I don't like to lay blame to the name on the back of the jerseys but our safeties are missing tackles. Miami had 4 plays over 50 yards and two of those were the direct result of missed tackles by safeties at the point of attack.

Another point to the playing off the line is to work in conjunction with our offensive strategy. By making the offense work down the field to say the 35 minimizes the field that needs to be covered and allows us to play more bump and run coverage. This chews up clock and minimizes possessions.

agreed, it's ok to have a few gimmicky plays as long as it's used sparingly
