Really hating these routes.... nothing is high percentage and everything takes about 5-6 seconds to develop. Giving up another 3 points here would be directly on the offense and that play-calling/route running.
Cushing was not drafted as a pass rushing OLB if that's what you're inferring. the traditional OLB has drastically changed.
Yeah he was... he was drafted back when the Texans still ran a 4-3. As traditional an OLB as there was (one who rushes as well as drops in coverage)... now most teams run a 3-4, so that changes the OLB's role a lot.
