And that is the way to go...

Makes sense, I know I thought of Reader as more of a NT but looking at his snaps he was playing out in the 2-Gap much more than 0-gap.
Plus Rankins was a good run stopper when he was with the Jets and that was what he was asked to do. People just look at Rankins last year
and his poor grade and think he isn't a good run stopper. The Jets were the best run stopping Defense in the league when Rankins was on
their team and he was asked to stop the run. When asked to rush the passer he is by far our best DT at doing this though and we all know
that BJ is pretty solid.
