I could be wrong, but it seems like speedy defensive linemen would be a reason to run it straight up the middle. That not only takes away their ability to beat you to the edge, it also negates the pass rush.
Actually, that's exactly what I'd do if I were in your place. You'll have a better shot at running it up the middle than trying to get the edge. Then, it will be up to our DTs and LBs, and while they've improved this season they aren't as strong as the DEs.
Keep in mind though, our pass rush rarely includes a blitz. So you won't find the box as stacked as you might expect. Also, our D is that "bend but don't break" brand that will give up decent chunks of yardage in the middle, but rarely give up the long play.
