Jason Taylor? Yeah, whatever his job is in the run game, I guarentee you he's not doing it. Unless Blache's scheme calls for him to turn his back to the defense or run past the play.

Andre Carter is very good against the run though, for an end. The myth that he can't defend the run was started two years ago, and was based on a myth that 1) he's small, and 2) teams' ability to get that Edge if they want it. Number two is only feasible against our defense if you can get Fletcher blocked, which means either teams are cracking on Fletcher, or the DTs are getting scraped past and lineman are getting on Fletch. Either way, it's hard to put this on Carter academically. There's nothing that goes on in the game that suggests that Carter is or has ever been bad against the run. But who needs to watch the game to underestimate a guys weight by 20 pounds and then generalize that he probably is too undersized for the position.
