[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 569790, member: 9033"] Neal has shown he can't survive playing dline so any suggestion of him playing DE should only be considered as a sub, not a starter. Daniels was terrific last year against the pass and, in limited snaps, against the run. In his first full-time game against the Seahawks he was terrible against the run. Expecting an undrafted rookie in Pennel to play an entire season without wearing down (let's not even discuss how good he'll be) is extremely optomistic. As for going 4-3, iit worked very well in the first half against the Seahawks but I'm not sure how effective it would remain once a few games worth of tape are put out there. To be realistic, fixing the run defense is going to depend on the offense putting the other team's run game out of commission by running up the score. Our front seven is weak from a personnel standpoint. TT needs to finally draft some impact ILBs and either draft an impact NT or have Pennel become that player next year. Datone Jones might make the jump this year (that's the hope anyway) but that would mean we have two decent players on the dline in Daniels and Jones but a severe weakness in the middle; and the middle is what hurts the most since we don't have the IILBs to compensate. This defense has two ILBs that HAVE to be protected from the oline and we have NTs that can't ooccupy the oline...that's a terrible combination. [/QUOTE]
