do think McKinnley Jackson can eventually be this guy but if we had a 3-tech that could blow up the IOL like Geno Atkins used to do it
would completely transform the Defense and is another dimension that could put our D on another level.
My whole point in the conversation with J24 is that getting a super duper 3T isn't going to fix what's wrong with the defense. The DL needs for all 4 components to be functional in order to perform their job as a unit. We've got a sack leader on the unit, what did that get us? Losing our NT and DE sure as heck cost us a lot of rushing yards yielded. You have to be able to stop the run before rushing the passer means anything.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
