We do look faster than 4 3 look we rolled out previously though. I still can't figure out why we never blitz and when we do why we're always too slow

Ramsey, who is basically a LB playing DE, has some legit get up and go. When we bring in a LB to blitz on his side and give him a shot at the speed rush he gets in the QB's face with some gusto. We can get to the QB with a blitz package, we've had some success this year with it after all.

The problem is we go ultra conservative on the downs where a blitz might produce the best results. In fact we go so conservative we tend to hand the other team first downs.
