Still doesn't address the lack of screen passes. Hot rush, slow them with a screen or flare to a back sneaking out from blocking.

One problem with that. If you think you can sneak Love (or CMAC for that matter) anywhere, you must think the opposing DC is an idiot. Yes, you might get a busted coverage, but failing a defensive lapse, you won't get much. You can pass to the FB (if you have one in the game). That can work. However, once you do it a few times, even that will be covered. The DL will start reading the screen.

Love was wide open on one play I remember, though Costello went farther downfield for a first down. Love might, might have been able to break it. As for the DL starting to read the screen, that's the idea. It slows down the rush and the crashing of gaps.
