maybe it's just me but the problems on RUN d have nothing to do with them.it's our LB's and DE's that suck stopping the run.I remember Sunday everytime Turner tried up the middle either Tank or Dorsey was right there to stop them.thoughts?

You're absolutely right. Tank and Dorsey are playing very, very well. Our DEs are not getting out there enough (not to mention getting almost no pass rush, where are you Hali?) and our LBs are getting blocked 5 yards down field by OL. We need an athletic, fast MLB to change that. DJ is still a stud, but Donnie is getting up there and Pat Thomas is just bad.

As far as our interior run stuffing, teams know we're very good there, so they break everything off tackle.

Pat Thomas is, maybe, worse than Napoleon Harris.

Tank and Glen are beasts.

I agree with the above sentiments. Pat Thomas is horrible and Maualuga/Laurinaitis need to be real possibilities at 1/1. Turk McBride is doing ok at one defensive end, but Hali is being manhandled by much larger offensive tackles. Would like to see Turk get stronger and Hali get replaced.
