Great post. I am especially fond of your notion that a tighter, pressing style coverage should be considered when teams are beating you with quick-hitters. Another thing to do is mix and match with a couple dlinemen and linebackers moving.....have linebackers harder to read by moving in toward line presnap then back out into coverage and linemen who arent getting penetration occassionally stand up or step off the ball right after initial push and attempt to bat balls down or at least get into vision and throwing lanes...more taught technique than schemed for obviously.
One caveat....these methods... especially press coverage, are typically made effective by the opposing team's offense feeling like they won't have much time to throw....But after two weeks it seems an intentional product of scheme, rather than necessity, against us for teams to limit QB holding ball and throw short. It will be real interesting, because the most effective thing Duggan did well last year is launch an accurate deep ball against us...which obviously takes more time.
