Why is any of that important for us? Name a 3-4, 3-4/hybrid that was/is any good without an elite NT?

So we lack the key ingredient, and then the same mistake takes some of our best players out of position. It forces Fletcher into single coverage away from the middle of the field, which never has to happen given the right scheme. It doesn't let Orakpo rush the passer every down.

The defense is indefensible. Injury is the cover story, but the devil is in the details. We lack the right guys for what we're trying to do, and we force guys we do have out of their best-fit position. It's there on every play, no chance of missing it.
