[QUOTE="I_am_smoked_cheddar, post: 568963"] First, GB plays a 3-4 defence, so that means 3 down linemen and 4 linebackers . 2 linebackers play the 2 middle positions. Second, with 3 down linemen, they take on more of the D-line duties. As a result, plugging the run gaps and leading the pass rush becomes an even more challenging job. That is why the largest man on 3-4 defence teams is so highly valued. Raji earned his new contract because he was solid in the middle of the line. With his injury, the D-line is not as good as it could be. Third, the Linebackers are having to stop more of the runs in the A gaps. Also with TE's being covered by outside /inside Linebackers, the d-line play takes on even more importance. The most successful teams always have the best D-lines. Debating the Linebackers is as valid as any other thread, but the truth is often more than missed/not missed tackles. Are quality players being recruited ? Are trades with other teams being explored ? Is the Defensive Coaching staff do their jobs ? I would agree that retaining quality players is not easy, but creative thinking and through research can do wonders . [/QUOTE]
