It wasn't Malachi that had the 35" arms, it was his team mate all along.

It doesn't get much more 'Planet Theory' than this.

I'm curious how many 3 DL sets the Pats ran last year outside of Goal-line situations.. I don't think it was very many..

I don't think he'll be here for us, but when you've got such an outlier like that, sometimes you just need to go BPA and work it our later. I actually like the idea of us going 3-4 1-gap.

My point was that the Pats ran more 2 DT / 2 Edge / 2 LB sets than they did traditional 3-4 or 4-3..

And I do understand about adding someone like Banks.. The bigger question is would Vrabel change their base to accommodate it or just continue to run just 2 DL out there most of the time.. I mean, being able to run Williams or Barmore out as one of the "Edge" guys would certainly make things harder for opposing teams. I just don't know if Vrabel would do that.

He definitely ran some 3 DL looks and it would certainly help with rotations. Imagine your second line being Banks-Durden.

DaBruinz said:

Whether it's Banks- Durden or Banks-Farmer, or another combination, it definitely improves things.

I'm not sure they can afford to do that with the other issues on defense and with the O-line.

Hmm.... Hopefully Vrabel doesn't make a similar mistake that haunted BB when it came to Florida Edge rushers..
