Tie up Thompson, put someone on Chinn and you can run on us all day long because our D-line can get scrubbed away by your basic five linemen on any run play. 

 

No LBer would look good behind this line. Even Luke was damn near nulified by a weak run stoping line in another mismached D scheme before he retired.

With our personnel, our base defense should be a 3-4. It's been this way for years now. I don't know why we show so many 4 man fronts when it's pretty clear Burns isn't an every down 4-3 lineman.

We've been told that Phil Snow is capable of running the defense out of a 3-4 or whatever alignment he deems best.

Have yet to see it, though...

Personnel definitely plays a big role.  They are undersized and fast for the most part.   When they started stopping the run it was because they were selling out to stop it.    Also it seemed to help a lot when we brought the new guy in near the end.  Also our lbs in general were nonexistent it felt like.
