It seems that in order for the tampa 2 defense that we run to be effective, the one thing you MUST have is an absolute freak at the defensive tackle position. A guy that can get in there and make plays on a consistant basis.
In Tampa there was Warren Sapp, in Chicago there is Tommie Harris. Even in Indy they had Simon and McFarland.
We dont have that guy....or someone that even resembles him. I think McCargo was drafted to be that guy, which hasent materialized yet. Larry Tripplett also was brought in to fill that void, and he did....for that one game last year when he had 2 sacks, he dissappeared the rest of the season.
I say if a prospect at the defensive tackle position comes along next year that would fill that void, we cant pass on him in round 1, because its obvious that the players we have in there right now are not getting it done, unless John McCargo can start making plays.
