I feel like even with Logan & Lawrence on the field still didnt generate a consistent pass rush. K'Lavon & Divinity are critcal

We are not getting the pass rush we want, or apparently what the current scheme calls for.

Aranda obviously wants to go to a zone and we heard numerous times offseason the idea is to generate more turnovers, hence pass rush with 4, 7 in zone to capitalize on QB mistakes. If QB isn't pressured, no mistakes AND has opportunity for WRs to find spot and QB deliver to that spot.

It doesn't work without rush, and he was dead set on doing with a constantly changing 4. We saw it alot last year on 3rd and 5 or greater. Now we're seeing it on non passing downs... hence it is apparent to me that's the direction he wants to go.

They were planning on moving divinity around more to get back to including him in the 'rush 4'. But that needs to include Chaisson.

It's not happening, and probably isn't going to. Hence we're going to have to go back to sending the likes of Delpit, Divinity, and Stevens AND rushing 4 others. We might play zone enough to disguise the blitzs as a zone when it is really man-man. But it seems SEC play is going to require scrapping the rush 4 + 7 zone.
