While 3-4 d-lines are not expected to rush the QB, they are expected to push and collapse the pocket. I think our d-line has been inconsistent in this aspect and I think it has a lot to do with the NT position. As I repeatedly said last season, the FO did not do a good job at getting their NT when they switched to the 3-4. Kemo was not a good option, we all know the AH mess, and this year we went with a guy that would probably work out better as a 3-4 DE.
I really want Cofield to work out as a NT, but he's been inconsistent. I think they should look into giving Neild more snaps. I just want for us to have a solid NT. Many people do not know Kelly Gregg, but up until last year he was the main NT for the Ravens (he is now with AZ, since the Ravens drafted T. Cody to replace him) and he did a very good job at that position.
