Take notice of our weakness. It has been our undoing against top teams

I agree fully. I've been saying it since I went all the way to St. Louis to watch the Rams vs Broncos. You CANNOT effectively stop the run when your defensive tackles are getting blown 3-5 yds off the ball. It does not matter if every linebacker & secondary player are hall of famers if your d-line does not have a consistent pass rush. I saw Mike Meyers? make two tackles at least 5 yds downfield. Now, the only way he made those tackles is because he got manhandled off the ball. It looks to me like every sack the d-line has gotten has been a coverage sack.

If they don't pick an all-american d-lineman this spring, I'm gonna be really dissapointed.

Warren has been a huge bust this year. They better draft and/or sign a couple DT's. One to take Myers spot, who isn't that great a player ands a free agent they should let go and one to push Warren and possibly take his spot if he doesn't get it together.

When D-Fox is your leading tackler you know there's a huge problem.
