A running back has a 6 yard head start against a stationary DT being blocked by OG's and centers who weigh 300 to 330 lbs. How is that easy? You can win the battle and still have to stop a guy like Henry who weighs 235 to 240 lbs. and a sprinter as well.

I think it's because I always associated mid-round picks like Peko as being guys who could defend the run well, but it was guys with pass rush prowess who were taken 1st round usually.

I'm not saying it's the right mentality, but it's what I had/have and why I have been more down on the FA additions.
