[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 874260, member: 7261"] I can't remember if I read it or heard it during the draft, but it made sense to me. Quite awhile ago teams started loading up with faster, smaller guys on defense in attempt to keep up with the quick aerial attacks that some teams were finding to be very successful. So that created the opportunity to exploit these teams via the run game. Offensive lineman could take out these fast, but smaller guys a lot easier than they used to be able to move the slower moving but bigger players. Not sure how that might change the way Pettine runs his defense or the personnel that Gute will bring in to man it, but in the NFL, it seems you always need to stay one step ahead of your opponents in not just the style of offense or defense you are going to run, but the players you are using to execute it. A team like the 49'ers with a well balanced offense can really take advantage of either defense. Put your run stoppers in there and we will throw it, put your pass defense in and we will run it right down your throat. MLF may want to get more run oriented, but he is still going to have to rely on #12's arm, as well as give him enough weapons to make it painful for teams to start playing run defense against the Packers.
