Conversely, we get a power back in the 2nd. round, his lead blocker in the 3rd., and bunch of interior OLs in the late rounds.So, the path to winning is a robust run game on offense, but on defense the opposite?  When you get past the granular and into philosophy of winning, there is a clear disconnect.</blockquote>
