[div align=\\\"center\\\"]Defensive Speed Kills: Helping the Lineman
Entering the first season of the NSFL football season we have seen some strange numbers. The fastest defensive tackles in the NSFL have started to pull themselves ahead of the rest of the rushers of the same position. What does this mean for the rest of the league? Well this definitely means that the interior lineman in the NSFL are much too slow and that there needs to be increased attempts to help these players keep up with the blazing fast Defensive Tackles. With teams electing to put their top lineman on the edges - Defense Tackles have become the most dangerous defenders on the field. With a change to moving the best lineman to the center of the line to slow the Defensive Tackles down, we might start to see Defensive Ends and Outside Linebackers beginning to feast.
So what this boils down to is that the lineman in the NSFL are much too slow and need some help to get them performing on a level comparable to the defensive rushers. Being a lineman in the league is already a thankless job and to let them be taken advantage of like this would be a shame. The league needs to take this seriously and come to a remedy before offensive lineman start to bolt for other opportunities. Speed needs to be reigned in and strength needs to be more highly valued.
