This is something that hasn't really been talked about much around here. Our front 4 get penetration, but too often we allow rushers to get critical yards. There's no way you can compare this D to the Stroud/Big Hen days. Is this a function of defensive scheme, poor line run play, or a lack of a decisive run stopping LB? Or is our line playing well and we're just having our stats blown out of proportion due to a couple of huge runs that are a result of terrible safety play? I have no clue.

Losing Poz hurt us a lot more than most people will admit. He has his deficiencies in pass coverage, but he is a gap-filling, tackling machine against the run.
