Their linebackers......probably wouldn't be starters on most teams
Brockers + Langford + Donald = the 27th best interior line in the NFL? Damn. When did every other team discover the technology to create multiple clones of Warren Sapp and Merlin Olsen?
I've re-read that a couple of times and he's not dissing the interior line at all. Quite the opposite in fact. Read what he says starting with "Adding to the abundance.."CGI_Ram not reading what I'm reading:
That seems awfully harsh toward the interior line, plus JL and Ogletree!
I don't agree with that. We were ranked 15th last year and our D is better this year. We've had no significant losses on our D and when you add in the new guys we drafted our depth, at the very least is much improved.Irish being way too pessimistic:
Ranking might be a tad low, but they certainly aren't much better than that. This notion that our defense is going to cover up any offensive deficiencies is pretty unfounded and not based on any real fact outside of "Man, that Quinn is a beast and Donald is a draft monster!" We are going to have to score at least 24 pts a game on average to be competitive, because this defense really isn't going to hold teams below that.
Well, for one thing, I'm listening to a concert on my headphones and I can't go to bed until it's over.OC--LeftCoast with a late night question:
Why even bother disputing inane blather?
