Im not sure how accurate this is but.....I remember hearing something last year that said that part of our trouble with our run D was that teams were consistently running to our WS(?) and that Carter was struggling to do much because if he could force the runer inside Marshall couldnt do crap. Im not so sure that our DTs were the problem....and even if they were eating us up on the inside it was partly due to injury...when Golston and Montgomery stepped in they did a stellar job, and I can see Golston becoming a solid DT, but he is probably just good depth again this year. Although I really like Okoye, and would be ecstatic if we drafted him, I think DE is a bigger issue. PD is old, too old and we need to replace him now, we at least have some talented young depth at DT...and everyone says this wont be a quck fix, well then get some young talent where we need it the most at DE, and let Golston/Montgomery develop, if they don't prove to be starters at least we will still have young depth, and I think we can get another productive season outa CG and JS.
