I agree we need to get to Ryan and make him feel sufficient pressure that he has to try to unload the ball early (will lead to more incompletions and shorter gains). But our front 7 need to step up, and in particular the front 3. In looking over the stats on NFL.com, it looks like our D-linemen are under-performing. I realize that a 3-4 scheme is supposed to free up LBs for tackles, but our front 3 aren't doing much of anything in terms of tackles, assists, forced fumbles, etc. -- and the teams with strong 3-4 defenses do not suffer that problem.
