My other concern is #99. I am not yet convinced he is an everydown DE. He is not stout agains the run. I think alot of our problems against the run was in part to do with #99.
Gibbs defenses in the 80's & early 90's did alot of situation substitutions with great results.
Guys like DE's Marcus Koch & Todd Liebenstein, DT Darryl Grant and LB Rich Milot played on first down and obvious run plays.
LB Monte Coleman, DT Jumpy Geathers, etc. played on obvious pass plays. We had the personell at DE in 2006 to do a rotation, I am not sure why dictator Williams did not rotate them? I would have used Renaldo Wynn and Phillip Daniels on 1st down and obvious run plays. Andre Carter and Demtric Evans on 3rd and long and obvious pass plays. I know Daniels is usually our sack leader but he is also stout against the run and we had no other DE strong against the run but Daniels and Wynn. So by defalt they are the run stoppers. Obviusly you adjust your pattern depending on who you are playing and theri tendancies. This also keeps everyone fresh.
