Control the heart of the line of scrimmage, silly my ass.

You can do that without wasting a first round pick on a NT. Hell, we did it for the last two years. We haven't really just gotten raped repeatedly by a team running the ball in the last 2 years, and you think that adding a player that will see less snaps than Javier Arenas is going to magically make this a top 5 defense and "stymie" teams running attack? You might want to go watch the games where we were embarrassed last year, it was through the air. Surprisingly, having a NT in our 2-gap would
NOT have prevented Stafford, Brady, or Fitzpatrick from molesting our secondary.
