Yeah the 5 man d-front is simplistic and can be easily game planned for. Plus we were down 3 D- lineman due to injury last night so running a 5 man front wasn't the best idea considering we didn't have bodies to keep guys fresh. Teams are running on the edges and once they get past the D-line were in trouble because our linebackers can't cover that much ground and our corners are forced to makes tackles one on one. The front office should be charged with neglect for not addressing the linebacker position. Its sad we can't even play 3 linebackers lol. Can things get worse with Pratt or Evans as the 3 lb ?
