Al Davis who designed the AFL zone passing of the 60s, prefered DBs over DL. His co designer, Chuck Noll prefered DL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAF-N72EX Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Pass rushers all day long. Pressure sacks happen more often than coverage sacks and are absolute drive killers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DingoLadd Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Pass rushers, doesn't matter how good your DBs are no one can cover if your pass rush can't get to the QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dome Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 3 elite pass rushers can turn the rest of the defense into STUDS 3 elite CBs can only cover 3 guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me 3 scrubs at corner and Watt, Bosa, Mack off the edge and we have the #1 defense in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaguarCrazy2832 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Definitely the pass rushers although there is a small question as to if a QB is mobile do the pass rusher struggle to contain since he is a runner at that point and hints to the average in run defense?

Uncle Buck Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I'd take the pass rushers. You could make up for their deficiencies in the run game with your linebackers and DB's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the QB gets rattled and a few hits, they will be out of their game and might not get back onto their game. If you go back in time, and your Trio was Taylor, Smith and White, you could imagine what a nightmare that would be for the QB 3 "lock down corners" ? Thats tempting, because if you have Prime, Revis and Rod Woodson, I would put my feet up on the desk and watch WR's try to move the chains. This is where the perfect pass is required and in good conditions, some QB's might be able to get some . The other part to this is do the opposing teams have a great OL for the running game and will the HC actually run the ball until they are stopped? We don't see much of that anymore, thought I would ask. Now the other part that you never mentioned was the salary cap. If that is considered, right now the DL/edge get paid more by a bit, so that is something to consider . $75M per vs $45M per is about what it would be. The rules in this example would favour the DL trio , since PI is so touchy today is makes the value of the CB less when compared to the DL in this example. 2010 season jets during the playoffs went into foxboro and beat the pats with 2 elite CB's and no pass rush. It can work, history has shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFlaccoSeagulls Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Unless your main CB is Darrelle Revis in his prime and your team compensates for no pass rush by blitzing an insane amount, it's ALWAYS better to have elite pass rushers.

This. I'm legitimately struggle to think of any great defense outside of those couple of years with the Jets that had elite corners and a mediocre pass rush.
