this is the way I see it. We basically sent 4 guys all night, other than the few times we blitzed. Any NFL offensive line should be able to handle 4 D-lineman the majority of the time. Carter got somewhat close a few times. 4 down lineman are not going to get consistant pressure on a QB. Especially offenses that run a 2 or 3 step drop offense. Granted McNabb may have had some time to make the throws, but our corners and safeties did their job by not letting anyone get open. Our D line is doing the job their are suppose to do. Stop the run. they are doing a tremendous job so far of clogging running lanes. I dont see our Dline struggling as it did last year.

I personally would like to see more 5 or 6 man blitzes, sometimes 7, but as long as we are stopping people and winning games, I have no complaints.
