I want someone that can legitimately threaten the edge when when we utilize outside zone.
I want someone that makes the DBs run conscious. They just don't have to give a shit at ALL against the run because they have all day to react to a handoff. They don't have to bite on play-actions because...who gives a shit? Stay in your drop-back an extra step. Get extra depth. At worst, it turns a 3 yard gain into a 4 yard gain because nobody's hitting the 2nd level and putting you under pressure.
The LBs don't have to worry about the edges either so they can crash the middle.
We have nobody that can threaten the edge and force CBs to at least respect the running game. It makes things quite a bit easier for those defensive backfield.
If I had any faith that Mitchell could handle even 100 touches without breaking, I'd be a little less concerned. I don't.
I just think we need someone that can pressure the defensive backfield.
