I definitely agree that our D line is one of our biggest concerns right now, as far as the pash rush goes. If we cen generate a decent pass rush, we dont have to send as many blitzers to put some pressure on the QB, allowing us to drop more men in coverage. I am not worried about our run stopping and I actually think it has been pretty good as far as yds per carry goes. I know we have yielded some big runs but I dont think the d-line should take all the blame since our other guys have been missing some tackles.
However, our D is so good that even without a great pass rush by our d-line last year, we still got 40 sacks and were amazing against the run. An elite pash rusher would be great, but we should still be fine without it. With daniels and noble back from injuries that kept them out for a most of last season, we should be even better this year.
Judging by how we have done so far this preseason, our o-line should be one of the tops in the league and I agree that they are really looking more physical and tough then ever (Dockery throwing down kris jenkins was is solid proof). What does that mean? A very fun season for Portis ahead.
