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.

Guess i didnt make myself clear, i'm not advocating a NT at #1, thats not necessary. But yes, we DO give up too much in the run game...
week 1 buffalo - 150+
week 3 eggo - 120
week 4 vikes - 140+
week 7 fade - 140+
week 9 fins - 110+
week 11 pats - 120+
week 14 jets - 150+
Most of those were losses, you cant tell me that doing a better job against those ground games wouldnt have drastically helped our chances. And yes, having the prototype NT for a Crennel 3-4, CAN & WILL help out the secondary.
