Excellent point. GW's scheme relies on the tackling ability of corners to stuff the run - hence Smoot's departure to Minnesota. Smoot missed more tackles/sacks than anyone I've ever seen don the burgundy and gold and when he did make a tackle he usually went to the sidelines with a stinger or something.
