Jeff Diamond Weighs In On Pass Rush

From what configuration are we rushing 4? More specifically who is out there 

Good question. We have a few options. Guessing one of the following...

Greenard—Allen—Hargrave—Gink/Hunter
Greenard—Allen/Hargrave—Gink—Hunter

I was thinking the same thing in second and long. Third and long I’m thinking more of an amoeba alignment where Ginks, Greenie, Turner and maybe Ritcher are by the los but basically milling about.

You could do a skinny package of all Edges, but even though Hargrave and Allen are inside players, they're both pretty badass pass rushers who probably offer more pass rush chops than whoever OLB4 is.

I like the idea of all Edges because anyone of the 4 could rush or drop. Ritcher and Murphy had some pass rush chops in college, they just didn’t have the triangle numbers. Batty is an intriguing fit as well.

I just looked up our depth chart for that 2017 #1 ranked defense. Some good players: Barr, Hendricks, Joseph, Hunter, Griffen, Rhodes, Harry. But holy steaming piles of shit, look at the OL that took us to the NFCC...

LT: Riley Reiff
LG: Alex Boone/Jeremiah Sirles/Nick Easton

I think you meant Kendricks.  Was that the year we had 9 sacks against detroit?  That was a fun day.
