OK we run the Tampa cover 2 (TC2) just like Indy and Chicago. Indy is 25 yards per game worse against the rush than we were and we had 15 more sacks than Indy but gave up 30 yards passing more per game. Overall we gave up 19.4 yds per game and the colts gave up 22.5. Now anyone that thinks the TC2 is designed to be a dominant run stopper does not know football. The TC2 is designed to take away the "big" play period. it's designed to punish the under routes with LB's and safties hitting backs and receivers immediatley after the catch.
Now to get this defense in the mold of a chicago defense is to play with the lead, look at Chicago's schedule and you will see why they are "stout" against the run they had big leads
Greenbay 23 rushes for 103 won 26-0
Detroit 14 rushes for 46 yards won 34-7
Minnesota 24 rushes for 97 yards won 19-16
Seattle 19 rushes for 77 yards won 37-6
Buffalo 18 rushes for 58 yards 3.2 avg won 40-7
Arizona 38 rushes for 66 yards 1.7 avg won 24-23
SF 18 rushes for 130 yards 7.2 avg won 41-10
Miami 35 rushes 161 yards 4.6 avg lost 13-31
NYG 22 rushes for 150 yards 6.8 avg lost 38-20
NYJ 30 rushes 108 yards for 3.6 avg won 10-0
NE 34 rushes for 85 yards 2.5 avg lost 13-17
Minn 35 rushes for 192 yards 5.5 avg won 23-13 you really need to look at this!
STL 22 rushes for 101 yards 4.6 avg won 42-27
TB 19 rushes for 57 yards 3.0 avg won 34-31
DET 18 rushes for 67 yards 3.7 avg won 26-21
GB 34 rushes for 97 yards 2.9 avg lost 7-26
Seattle 31 rushes for 127 yards 4.1 avg won 27-24
Look at the games where teams ran 30 plus times 4 out of 7 were losses and 2 should of been Arizona and Minn.
With that said I do agree we need a more physical MLB (Willis/Siler). Safeties are a premium for this defense and we are set there. We need to resign Hardgrove for depth (this is going to happen) and would like either a FA end or Kelsay resigned. We need another DT (1 Tech) to replace in effective Anderson and possibly another OLB.
Bottom Line we need== 1 DT, 1 MLB (draft Willis/Siler), Resign our current FA of Hardgrove, Kelsay, and K. Thomas. Additionally, would like an FA OLB and CB.
And we need an offense that can run the ball! So really who the hell do we draft???????????????????? OT? RB? DT? LB? Hell I don't know!
