A Zone Blitz D would have DL drop into coverage routinely.

At the same time, when you draft a freakish pass rusher, you should find a way to have him routinely rush the passer. Instead, for the majority of the first 10 games, when MS played, he was dropping into coverage. When Manusky started having him routinely rush the passer, he started making some noise.

Yes, I think everyone would agree that us using hand in the dirt guys like Sweat, Kerrigan, Preston etc in coverage is not ideal, not to their strengths and allows QBs/Coord to take advantage of that when the gift presented itself.

I just want to see the snap breakdown vs fan recollection. We as fans may over emphasis or think "its every time" when in reality maybe it was 30% of his snaps. I bolded the majority part bc we dont really know the numbers. I think its safe to say Sweat was doing more than we would like in the first half and perhaps the second half but I want to see the actual numbers and numbers for other teams as well to compare.
