We can all agree that the DL is the weakest area of the team.But t want to go a step further.Who will let us down the most the DT by not stopping the run and pushing the pocket or the DE by not generating no pass rush of their own.

I think it will be against the run. If we can get teams in third and long situations, and then with our blitzing and outside linebackers, I think we'll be able to get to the quaterback. I'm worried about stopping the run. We were horrible at it last year.

I'm most concerned about the run defense as well. The absence of a run-stopping behemoth in the middle is going to be a problem. From the trio of Noble, Haley and Salave'a, the Skins need to find a guy who can anchor the middle alongside Griffin. Griffin is known more as a penetrator, not an anchor. Haley has the size, and can play adequately when not injured. Noble has the motor, and a history of anchoring well, but again the injury is a concern. Salave'a is more in the penetrator mold, and lacks the overwhelming size to fit the bill.

It will be a lot easier for guys like Griffin, Upshaw, Wynn and Daniels to get into the backfield if there's a big man in the middle drawing double-teams and clogging running lanes.
