Posted Tuesday August 07, 2007, About: Colts considering Sapp, Tank?
It depends on what you want from your DTs - they are two very different types of players. Sapp is more like Tommie Harris in that he's the "under tackle" in an attacking, slashing, style of defense that is more about speed and causing hell in the backfield than standing up the o-line. Dungy's, and Lovie's, Cover 2 uses smaller DTs and attack gaps. More traditional defenses, like Jim Bates uses, have two big pluggers in there to keep the LBs clean as many have pointed out. Sapp is a better fit in the Tampa 2 and can play a full season; Tank isn't the answer.
