Re: Unit Analysis - Defensive tackles
The only problem of our defense over the past two years is turnovers, though it got MUCH better during our run last year. THe d-line is very important in putting on that pressure and we have been weak in that area. Our players were not horrible but Daniels and Wynn on the line on the end next to Joe Salave'a wasn't going to scare anyone. Joe has always been pretty good but hasn't got enough recognition so I like that we got a B+ in the middle. The major problem has been DE for the past couple seasons and that is why eeryone wanted lavar to play there. Daniels REALLY REALLY REALLY stepped it up at the end so lets hope that continues.
With the addittion of Carter I think we have made something that was amazing truly scary, can't beat us. The defense was missing that ONE THING and I think Carter can be that one thing. I really think that grif and Carter will play just under pro bowl quality or even at pro bowl quality because griffin has been doing that. The rest of the defense is perfectly sound but the quality of players is not entirely deep.
The D-line is what stepped it up last year. The dominating D that we played against the bucs was led by the line. I think this year we are going to be insane if we have the solid play by daniels and carter on the end. I am not worried about the tackles too much.
