My theory is that our d-line just has not been a point of emphasis since we signed Dana Stubblefield and Dan Wilkinson. That year we poured a ton of money into those two guys and they didn't exactly pan out. Ever since, we've signed at least one d-lineman every offseason, however we are still looking for a pass rusher and my feeling is we will be after this year as well.

I'd like to see us solidify the interior line. Our pass defense is going to be ok, it's our run defense that needs to be addressed. I'm sick of mediocre backs tearing our defense up, even Hambrick ran for 180+ on us. Now that we can commit an extra defender to the run, and now that the extra defender is Bowen maybe he can add some pop.
