The only time the edge is allowed to bring it with a sudden ball of fury is obvious pass only and even then they’re used a lot to free others. Again, what’s missing and the only true way to be a dominant pass rush against college offenses in interior pressure. Edge play is largely obsolete at this level, especially if you can’t push the pocket from inside. We are damn good at edge but that’s not what’s missing from the defense. Interior guys who destroy guards and centers and snap OL cohesion. To everyone’s point in the thread, an edge winning quick or not is still inefficient and the ball will be out. So you send hell in his face and force him to step 1 of the edges. Only against a complete statue of a QB who doesn’t require any type of spy will we free send edge players, see Texas 2024. We won’t do that vs almost anyone else unless the QB is slower than the interior DL. We will attack running QBs but it will be up the middle and edges spying as they come to them. See Texas 2025 for that example.
