Fair enough, but what seems to be getting ignored is that I never questioned his abilty to rush the passer. The basis of my comment has been his inability to play effectively in the ground game and everyones rhetoric has been about his pass-rush ability lol. The entire logic about having him play as a 5Tech or LDE and then reduce to a 3tech was to deemphasize his weakness in the run game as a DT and have him matched against taller Tackles on base downs, and then kick him inside on passing downs.

IDK it's like people ignore what I say and then start countering me w/ irrelevant comments that I've already taken into consideration in my original comment.

Well I think one of the issues with answering the question how much rushing game has our opponent put on us, I dont feel there is enough sample size to make a realistic logical conclusion of how well he is playing in the run game.

The panthers ran 20 times for 58 yds. The cowboys ran the ball 21 times for 68 yards. Our opponents ran 41 times for 126 VS Alvin Kamara alone has 35 rushes for 198. Its hard to see whats wrong when the def has been stifling against the run either strong def or segue....

We was up 30 to 3 against at half the panthers and we were up 35- 16 against the cowboys, with there 1 touchdown coming on a fluke. Both games halfway through how concerning is the run game when u know the oppt need points quick. which brings up my final point

Without knowing Breese assignment as a DT its kinda hard to tell and I feel its hard to say he is doing anything wrong when def as a unit is not allowing much run game to begin with. Some issues might be noticeable as season goes on but I feel its too early and not enough data to see "Struggling" Once a team runs wild on us thats not 115 yards from a running QB then I feel we can revisit
