Scrambling QBs break this defense down. Defensive line either plays contain and tries to keep Watson in the pocket, which slows the pass rush down a lot, or they pass rush best they can and that opens running lanes for Watson.
If they keep a spy in then it opens a hole in coverage. If they blitz it improves pass rush but opens a hole again. Have to pick your poison.
Really it just exposes our lack of a dominant pass rusher. We need a guy on the outside that can win regularly. It might be the last piece of this defense. Pass rush right now is a team effort.
