Not to mention we have in the recent past gone to a huge front 7 on defense and emphasized size and length over speed. On the flip side, teams like OM have smaller front 7s and more DBs and emphasize speed. Guys that are 6'2+ and 230+ (BMac, Green, Harris, Wright, etc) in our defense play LB, whereas in other defenses they might would play DE (OM's CJ, Haynes, Shackleford).
We seem to prefer huge run-stopping DEs with length (Smith, Autry, Brown) over pure pass rushers. Whether that is the best theory is debatable.
