That's his point, those teams were pretty soft, finesse teams. They had a good o-line early on (which got much worse later in Manning's years) and the d-line was bad outside of the pass rush for most of the Manning era. Having speed on defense is great as long as you have some guys up front who can allow those speed guys to flow to the ball. Ballard is trying to do it correctly by building up the trenches.
