DMN Blog: Wade will find a way to get pass rushers on field
Greg Ellis might not play this week, but he'll be back soon. Once he returns, expect to see defensive packages that put him on the field with fellow pass rushers DeMarcus Ware and Anthony Spencer.
How will that work?
"That's Wade's job," Ellis said. "My job is to beat the man in front of me. It's Wade's job to figure out how to put us in the best situation and best position and see what we can do."
Phillips figured out a way to do it with Steve Foley, Shawne Merriman and Shaun Phillips in San Diego, and he said it doesn't necessarily require one of the OLBs to move inside. He advised me to dig up game film from the 2005 Chargers season if I wanted to see how it's done.
"Whoever our best pass rushers are, we just figure out a way to put 'em in the game and rush 'em," Phillips said. "It's not necessarily the old 4-2 or dime or nickel. It's just get 'em out there, mill around and rush."
