i agree . . . unfortunately that is the role of a NT in the 3 - 4 . . . to occupy multiple blockers and get push up the middle . . . that's his job . . .

and we have not been good run defense . . . our over run d ranking is due to teams not running against us because our offense scores and its very easy to pass on us . . . look at opposing yards per carry . . . 4.2 . . . that's 15th . . . that's middle of the pack and that's without backs being able to just grind it out and get into a rhythm due to lack of carries . . .

I think haslett runs a different version of the 34, that's more of a 1 GAP defense rather than the traditional 34.

still could use at least 1 space eater type dt. what we have now are 3 good DEs at the line.
imo

I think we still need a 3-4 end that can apply pressure. Of course that used to be Carriker's job but he got hurt but can we upgrade over the other d-linemen we have? We definitively can. Houston runs a one gap scheme that is why Watt is so good because he fits that scheme perfectly, just like Bruce Smith from the olden days. Building depth on the d-line should be a high priority this off season.

I thought our DL was actually doing pretty well, that the Ravens have a good OL, that it's the edge pressure we're lacking since Rak went down and Kerrigan slumped.
