Top run defenders:

What Scouts Inc. looks for: Stopping the run may be viewed as the primary responsibility of the defensive tackle. How it is done depends on the ability of the players and the scheme they play in. Some may be asked to be two-gap defensive tackles and eat up blocks; this makes it easier for linebackers to get to the ball. Others may be asked to be one-gap defensive tackles; this requires DTs to get off the ball and make plays themselves.

1. Corey Adams

Adams is also a productive pass-rusher, but we like this kid's game versus the run more. He is not a big run-plugger, but he has the frame to develop into a physical monster. The strength of his game is mixing smart play with ability. He has good feet to step quickly into gaps or move laterally along the line of scrimmage. He uses his hands well and will get them on blockers. We like how he gets into a gap and breaks down. He is not a defensive tackle who wildly runs upfield hoping to run into the ball. He gets into the gap, stays square, shuffles, locates the ball, and is athletic enough to react and make the play. He does a good job of taking on blocks and should be even tougher to move off the ball as he continues to develop physically. Adams is a good defensive tackle and tough against the run.

Is it just me or does anyone else think Corey plays a little high? This is something he needs to work on. Does have size and is athletic. I hope we get him.

I thought so as well but that was after watching his senior film, and he has been hurt this season, so I'm not sure if that film is a good indicator.

Yes it is probably right...give or take a few...when you factor dbl teams...running away from his side...which he is a tackle...so thats not hard to do...not to mention that most teams out here in AZ have moved to the spread three step drop and pass...those are right
