I can't remember if it was Berry or KS but at one time one of them mentioned that they prefer smaller penetrating DTs over the bigger run stopping type and that's a huge problem for us because they also prefer smaller fast LBs. If you don't have at least one pretty good penetrating DT than you have no one that the opposing Oline needs to double team which allows that extra Olineman to get to the next level and take out our smaller LBs. Bryan is the best we have as a penetrating DT and he's at best a backup on a good team, I thought Elliott was going to be a good player but his play has just been so uninspiring, and Togiai is a really undersized run stopping type DT. With smaller fast LBs you either need 2 good penetrating DTs, or an Aaron Donald, or at least one run stopping DT type who can tie up 2 blockers.
It doesn't seem like we have those penetrating DT's either
