The Good, the Bad, the Ugly: Defensive Line Preview
Photo by Mat Gdowski/Icon Sportswire via Getty ImagesWe’ve wrapped up our previews for the offensive side of the ball and now it is time to turn our focus to the defense. This week, we will begin with a peek at the defensive line. Which team will be the best in the trenches? Let’s take a look.
The Good
Air Force
The Falcons are built to stop the run, and I don’t see that changing this fall. Air Force had one of the best run defenses in the country, but they were mediocre at getting to the quarterback. We know the philosophy of Troy Calhoun and his staff; they will always focus on stopping the run first. If they can figure out how to get to the quarterback more frequently, they will be elite.
