Staley's Gap and a Half defense requires players to eat blockers/take on double teams. If his only job was to eat two blockers every play, that's what our new defense will call for. He's an athlete, just a massive athlete and he doesn't have an injury history. The knock on him is that he doesn't make a lot of plays, well that's the point of a guy who is supposed to take on double teams every play allowing the LBs and others to make the plays.
ROLB: Chase Young/Foskey
RDE: Brian Bresee/Cam or Saunders
NT: Desmond Watson/Godchaux
LDE: Davon Godchaux/Cam
LOLB: Granderson/Foskey
That's a big lineup to stop the run with a sideline to sideline LB patrolling the middle of the field.
