Which Line Was Better Today - Offense or Defense?

[cover-2]

I was highly disappointed with our d-line vs. the run. I think the scheme and personnel groupings was the problem. Too much 3-4 defense for my liking. Red Bryant is a beast against the run as a DE in a 4-3, but not nearly effective and almost a liability vs. the run when lined up at DT in the 4-3 defense. It seems like we are trying to supplement a pass rush at the cost of the run defense. Also, I was not impressed with newly acquired DT D'Anthony Smith. We should have been able to get more pressure up the middle against their 2nd or 3rd string offensive guards.
