Greenlaw has filled in admirably and for a rookie, his future looks incredibly bright. We did a nice job corraling CMC for the Panthers. He broke one long run and had a couple of catches for first downs but other than that, he was pretty much neutralized. I'm not as worried about Jones out of the backfield as much as I am the screen game. Being that the Wide 9 is intended for guys to get upfield, timely screens can really screw us. We just have to read our keys and understand situational football.How effective you are able to block the front four will decide the game. We blitz the least out of any defense in the league. We did it more against Seattle and AZ because again, mobile QBs give us problems. Especially with defending the run and RPOs so we blitz to disrupt timing. We might blitz a few times but if our front four is getting home consistently, it plays to our advantage. That's when our defense is in their wheelhouse.  If you look at how our defense fared against more traditional offenses, we let our front four 'hunt' and the rest of the D just feeds off their disruption.</blockquote>
