Re: AFC/NFC Conference Championship Games Thread
I think our biggest weakness is at defensive tackle. I like Ed Oliver individually, I like Terrell Bernard individually, I like Matt Milano individually, and I like Taron Johnson individually. But when you put all of them on the field, that leaves you at a major size disadvantage right up the spine. That in turn forces you to commit guys inside to stop the run and leaves us vulnerable on the outside over and over again. We have been cycling through old men 1 techs over and over for years: Star Lotuleilei, DaQuon Jones, Linval Joseph, etc. We need a real space-eating dude to hold the middle and let the skinny guys run around free. Otherwise you end up with Bernard getting washed out over and over at the second level.
