re: Frank Herron working hard this offseason

It really makes you think about how much talent was wasted. Our linemen just held up the o-line for the linebackers to attack. I think that's why Freak made little impact during his tenure. The new d-line is going to attack and penetrate while the linebackers will sit back. Steele also knows how to blitz his LBs to create mismatches.

330 fatties who don't get any penetration suck.

290 athletic types who are quick are awesome.

Depends. A 330 lb nose tackle that can hold his space and eat up blocks doesn't need the same penetration. That's a game changing addition right now that not many NFL teams have.

But that's different than being out of shape. We'll have to find that balance
