Derrick Johnsons best year has a lot to do with our DE's playing good and being rated close to the top in the league.

Dorsey and TJax come out for more than just a breather, when we can adjust to a sub package and play the pass, they are instantly taken out.
he's talking about when Dorsey and TJax get caught in a 34 base package and the other team passes on us in that package to get the mismatch, because they know both of them can't rush the passer or bring the heat like what we do in a nickel or sub.
They are essentially 2 down players in this defense.
