Quote:My question is this. What happeneds when you can't find two stud DT's, finding one is hard enough, and a team consistently runs away from the LDE right at the pass rushing RDE? Is it wrong to expect that they will struggle just as this team has struggled?

 

 

Quote:So, basically the Fearsome Foursome then? Sure, we'll just run right out and grab those guys.

 

Look, I get your point but you're asking for not only one, but two Defensive Tackles that can anchor and pass rush?!?! How many of those players exist in the entire League? And how many truly stud RDE's are there? Clowney was supposed to be, and he knows the Training Staff better than he does his position coach. Who else is there?

 

At some point, you need your scheme to be versatile enough to be able accommodate less than Hall of Fame caliber talent. To be honest, I think the 4-3 Under can do that. Then again, I really feel like the 4-2-5 is the Defense of the future, but I'm not so certain that it will ever get on grass in the NFL.

 

No, one anchor, and one rush DT.

 

We already have that.

 

All we're missing is the RDE.  Forget tweeners and leos.

 

Everyone says "we can't."  Refuse to accept that.  Carolina seemed to be able to.  We have in the past.

 

Much better chances going traditional four than this mythical unicorn we've been chasing and haven't even come close to.
