Defensive Line will have dominant year!


Who Said What?

Recommended Posts

After watching Russell Wilson run for his life and throw passes while taking hits on numerous occasions, I am super hype about our d-line this year.  Provided Alexander stays on the field for more than a series, it could be better than 2003. 

 

When we play teams that do not have mobile quarterbacks it will be even worse, because they won't be able to take off running after Monster Inc. dismantles their o-ines.  Think about how we eat up the Falcons line last year and Matty Lice just had to take the pounding.  Other than Buffalo and San Fran, we don't really play a mobile QB the rest of the regular season.

 

Thats just passing alone.  Look how well we have played the run in the Pre-season and week one.  We only gave up 43 yds rushing to Lynch yesterday.  This line is going to be feared come mid season and should be together for at least four seasons if we extend Hardy.

 

This is something I will look forward to every defensive series.

I admit it.  There have been times when I have just fast forwarded through our defensive possessions (I usually watch the game about 30 minutes behind real time to fast forwards commercials).

 

But this year I actually have been looking forward to watching our defense.

 

Guys like Wilson, Kaep, and Manuel might give us some fits because of their mobility and ability to extend plays.  With any secondary that is tough to cover, with our secondary it will be even worse.

 

But those statue QBs, I really like our ability to destroy them.

    • Your thoughts? I don't think the trade up or even down value system stays exactly in place this year. Look at all the bad trades that hurt teams that give away too much (49ers for Lance, even us w/the Bears set us back). What trade up except Mahomes/KC was it really a great trade for the team giving up a lot? Same with trading down. Teams will know you don't want to pick and they won't be giving the store to move up because there is not a generational talent to do that for. Now, I believe these possibilities.  The Giants probably won't take QB-Sanders at 3, it's too much pressure if it doesn't work. They don't really need another edge rusher with Carter. I can see them possibly saving face, trade down to even the Panthers at 8 but not asking for a kings ransom. A 1st round swap, a 3rd and 4th and maybe next years 2nd and 4th could be enough without giving up too much. The Giants save in pay and in public opinion and then they can take Sanders or even another QB. For the Panthers to drop down, it has to mean their top 3 picks are not there. Do they take TE-Warren if he drops in their lap at 8 (I do like that)? I believe they would love to drop back but again I don't think teams will pay a lot to move up unless they want a QB before the Saints (our only hope for a good value).  I'm not picking a player, just thinking of the draft in general and value. Reaching doesn't work and more and more teams are realizing that. 
    • With the new DL, we should be better at edge by simple addition.   What player would have the biggest impact on the Panthers?  I still see the plan to trade back and take Emmanwori if we can find a trade partner.  Why, you ask?  S is a huge need and they have really only looked at 1 visits/meetings.  We will try to trade up for Princely in the second.  A WR in the third  (Bech or Noel).
