You're right I don't know for sure what his assignments have been. I'm guess-timating based on what the other defensive linemen are doing and the results of the play. But at the end of the day they're just SWAGs.
As for Aaron, what I meant was that a lot of times it's really hard to tell just what his assignment was; he blows through the line so fast a lot of times that I honestly don't know exactly what he was supposed to be doing in the scheme/design of the play. But he does get to the QB so quickly that even if he doesn't make the tackle on the RB he disrupts the play anyway.
Chris isn't that type of player. Hell, I can't really think of anyone that is. Which is what I meant about being a mutant.
It's like Barry Sanders. Sanders was a mutant. As such he didn't usually hit the hole as designed. It either wasn't there because his OL didn't create one, or he just chose to run elsewhere.
With a lesser RB that'd be a real problem. With Barry, well, you take what he gives you because he's a mutant.
