I'm sure we are seeking help om the D-line. That is still a place that we can upgrade and we have a little cash.

The question I have is this (and I've asked before):

If we had Pierce at MLB last year do you guys think we would have been better?

I think that just about everyone here would say "yes". For that reason alone I think the defense will make great strides with Fletcher at MLB and Marshall/Mcintosh at OLB.

I watched all the games from last year multiple times (I know, I'm a geek), and the d-line was within a couple of 10ths of a second getting to the QB all the time. Even a slight improvement in coverage will increase the sack count and turnovers.

So the point is (again) slightly better DB play, DLs holding up thier guys, and wrap up tackling by the LB's can make a huge improvement (just like the lack of those 3 thing led to its demise).
