Hopefully Trey Hendrickson can get more PT and make an impact; still waiting for Rankins...
Rankin's gets double teamed on almost every play which is what's suppose to happen. It frees up others to do their job. Rankins is doing just fine.

I disagree! Did you see how Fletcher Cox was being double teamed last night, but was pushing the center 6 yards back into Cam's face on just about every play?

That's what we seriously could use...

In the 3-4 defense is where the D-Line is just there to occupy blockers to allow the linebackers to make plays... We don't play too many 3 fronts; not with Allen...

Exactly. DT3 in a four man front should be making tackles for loss and sacks, and that production is minimal so far from Rankins...
