This is what pissed me off when Fangio got here. He was some great coach, great ideas, had a roster full of 4-3 guys. Instead of doing something like the great Buddy Ryan would do, and create a 4-6 defense, or something that would allow the players to use their attributes, they end up having defensive ends drop weight to try to play linebacker, or linebackers add weight to move inside, instead of allowing them to do what they did best, even if it meant doing something completely different.
I dont know about our line, we have gone thru some series with Howard last year where they just run power and he marched right down the field. We had a good rushing attack once this year, 160 something yards, none from mitch, and they never went back to it again.
I am not sure our line knows what they are good at anymore.
All I know is James Daniels did not have one bad snap this year, and he even got bumped back over. The only thing whitehair got back was getting mitch in the run first mentality because he did not know where the ball would be snapped
