Don't Understand this?

We are trying to be a hybrid 3-4 and 4-3 D and with this means we need some beef up front. Why the heck at times do I see Holliday at DT and Taylor at RE next to him on the SAME side of the field. I have watched this a few times and I watched NE run right over that side when they did it. They blew right over them. You have traylor and Carter on one side - that's about 340 or 350 + another 310 - they stuff the run pretty good. Then you have what 275 and what 245? And you have ZT trying to back them up - no wonder we get mowed over some times against the run.

Not trying to be Monday morning critic but I can't see why we don't stack the beef up front. We have sme monster DT's although for some reason the 2 young guys SIT INACTIVE.

i can see your point but our run defence has been pretty damn solid so far this season so im not to worried i am more worried about our oline being stuffed by opposing defensve lines

I'm a whole lot more concerned with the poor play of our OL than I am with our run defense. Seems we aren't that bad if we're like 5th in the NFL on defense.

Your point is well taken however, seems a little wierd to have so much beef on one side and such small guys grouped together on the opther side. I wonder if it has more to do with speed being needed on that side?
