The edges aren't the responsibility of the down linemen in a 3-4 no matter the personnel, unless it's an over or under set which this wasn't. That was on the OLB's and the Safeties/CB's who I continue to say have killed us in correctly being the force defender and holding the edge.

Correct, the 3-4 OLBs or 4-3 DEs need to set the edge in the run game along with the secondary. I'm not expecting Billings and Atkins (or Wren) to do that. I'm expecting Dunlap and Hubbard to be good enough to contain the edge while the interior DL seals and pushes the inside. The off-ball LBs need to play better or at least have enough speed to go to the outside if they are expecting inside and then have to bounce out.
