Probably a combination of both. Landry is closer to the LOS so he stops the run or rushes the QB. The LB's also stop the run but are being requried to shadow the TE. I think a lot of teams are not being able to throw the long ball on us often so they check down a lot to the TE's. Hall gets a lot because he covers the opponants main WR a lot. Then there is the zone coverage which Landry and the LB's would be closing on the ball.

When you only have 3 players on the DL taking up space against 4 or 5 OL RB's will find a hole. So don't look to the DL to be making a lot of tackles.
