Bohanna is what makes this whole defense work. The entire concept of a 2 gap defense relies on big dudes taking on two blockers. I’m just struggling to figure out whose the 6th and 7th defender I mean:
Lawrence
Greggory
Bohanna
Parsons
————-//
Who else?
Jaylon/LVE
I don’t know who else makes the field there are 2 defenders missing
The interior DL will have a heavy rotation regardless of who starts.
Even if Bohanna "starts" he'll likely only play about 20% to 25% of the snaps.

LVE/JS
- They might be in a rotation.
- My opinion is that LVE is better across the board, however...
- They might play LVE more in passing situations and Jaylon more vs the run in part to limit the pounding on LVE.
