Can we be more aggressive at LOS on the outside?we've been in off coverage far too much for my liking of late, I have no problem playing some of the zones we play, but we can still be physical while playing some of those concepts..The cold hard truth is that we have been a soft defense this year it's like we lost our physical nature somewhere,look at the Tennessee game for an example they absolutely manhandled us..In previous years against pretty much the same team we never got manhandled by them this team needs to get back to being physical..

I'm not sure that having ADG on the field on rushing downs is any sort of advantage in defending the run.  From what I've observed, he cannot shed blocks and is easily moved by blockers.

If they wanted to bring in a 3rd LB on apparent rushing downs, I'd go with Joe Bachie.
