again, i'm not sure you really need a "playbook" for def. line....

our roster

Galette on certain downs, Wilson all game.... i'd even throw some 5 man fronts out there at times, with Jordan sliding inside, Lofton as the sole LB and Harper closer to the line... Greer and Robinson as the CBs, White as the Nickel, Jenkins over the top, and Harper covering the back in the slot.... have Lofton mirror Newton....

Maybe today the team felt the DE had more responsibilities for containing and keeping an eye on RG3, neither of which they did well today. Certainly Galette and Wilson are much better at standard, get after the QB plays.

My only guess is the coaches feel they aren't good enough in run support and can't handle more duties other than simple rushes. I don't find either a good enough excuse, because our defense fails to keep edge contain regardless of which DE or OLB's we field.
