Ideally, in the run game a 3-4 DE should be able to protect the inside 5 gap while also being able to work off the tackle or TE to the outside 7 or 9 gap. Working to that outside position "sets", or defines, that 7 or 9 gap as the edge, allowing the LBs to work inside out from that spot if the play goes to the perimeter. Big hands, long reach, strength and leverage are the package to make that work against NFL tackles. In fact, during the NFL Channel draft broadcast Mariucci specifically mentioned Jones ability to "set the edge" for the Packers. I think that remains to be seen.</blockquote>
