I think we fell in love with speed on defense (more of that Seahag crap), and forgot that you have to play with a lead for it to work. Speed usually means you're going to be undersized, which makes you susceptible to the run.

So, we do have an identity, it's just not one that fits the overall design of our team.

@You have to know something to forget it, right?@

It's not that he doesn't "know" run defense, he doesn't know how to adjust his scheme to fit the roster he's dealt.

If your DT is not eating the blocks they are supposed to be eating, there needs to be a shift in personnel or help where the blocks are supposed to engage.
