Why did Peppers have so few sacks last year? Well, a good guess is that the bears where historically bad against the run and so they all had to play honest on every play. We need to be able to trot out guys in the base defense than can stop the run or Peppers/CM3/Daniels/Perry/Neal/Whoever won't be able to rush the passer effectively. It'd be nice to have guys out there who could do both, but we'll have to see if Raji can rush from the nose and if either Daniels/Peppers/Jones can play the run well enough to be out there on more than just third and longs.</p></blockquote><p></p>
