The problem is that we also routinely on 4 man fronts get the second level washed out and teams get big runs on us there as well. Whitson will be missed in this area because he was those things and could win matchups against OL.
Our focus in the portal next year needs to be between the tackles on both sides of the ball. It's where we are going to lose games this year.
