In reply to Bryan Case.

That's an excellent question. It's something I've been thinking about here recently as well. I know Rod Marinelli has always preferred quicker, more disruptive defensive tackles, but I really don't know about Kris Richard. I personally would love to see a change in philosophy there. Getting a big space eating DT would definitely help clog up the middle in the run game. And as far as the defensive playcalling is concerned, I think that's something Marinelli handed over to Richard last year. I don't think he's solely responsible for the alignment and everything. I think it's more of a collaborative effort between the two.
