Is OU the only defense that trys to defend four wide with five DBS? Every other team I've watched in this league uses six with three on the DL and two LBs. It just seems obvious to me when you've only got five guys to cover four there are going to be one on one match ups all over the place. Then if you give 10 yards of cushion which you have to do because you have no help it really make it pretty easy. I'm not an expert or anything but doesn't this seem kind of like an obvious problem?

And I understand the desire to want to get pressure but they aren't getting there. Isn't it pointless to have that extra defender on the DL if he isn't doing anything? And meanwhile your DBs are getting touched because they've got to defend the other teams best players one on one the whole game.
