our defensive line has been great at stuffing the run, but no one's gonna say it brought a pass rush on it's own. our sack leader was a CORNER! with a little more push from the front four our defense would have been no.1 instead of no.3
Two questions:

1. How would we afford Simon? Even if he's after "respect," he'll still command a ton of bucks.

2. I know it's strange for a corner to lead the team in sacks, but ultimately was there anything wrong with our defense last year?
