SEC Unit Rankings: Defensive Lines

Go on vacation for a week and everyone stops answering your email. So it’s just me and Billy on this one. I tell ya…

As the 3-4 gets more and more popular, it gets harder to tease out the contributions of the linemen from the edge rushing linebackers. By and large, I’m looking at how the line creates tackles for a loss, which is the prime job of the line, but sometimes those pesky linebackers come in and steal the glory. So I also want to make sure it’s the linemen generating the pressure or clogging the middle.
