It would only work a few times, unless we really played 3-4 on a regular basis, otherwise the offense would know exactly what we were doing as soon as they saw the 3 d-lineman. I really don't see us moving from our bread and butter. I do, however, see more blitzing in the near future as long as our DB's pan out as lock down players.

Isn't it a wonderful time of year to imagine all the things we are going to do to the opposition. How many more days until the first game?

I am sorry if I took your original post the wrong way. I can see that on passing downs when Ohio State needs to blitz. Have D'Andrea drop down to DE and Patterson, Pitcock, and Fraser would be the defensive lineman.

I would also love to see more blitzing and attacking from the linebackers and safeties. Enough of this soft zone when Ohio State gets a 2 or 3 TD lead like in the Fiesta Bowl against KSU. I want to see this defense attacking like LSU did against Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl.
