hutchinson would be great. mathis isnt a full time player though, only a situational pass rusher. jimmy smith would be alright, but he doesnt have too much left. if we got ray lewis that would be amazing, he would make this defense so nasty just with his personality and charisma.

What are you kidding me, Mathis isn't a fulltime player, he lead the league in sacks, If that not full time, well I'll take that over what we have now, trust me hes good at the run and rushing the passer, If we got the guys I suggested then we would be a much improved team.....don't take my word for it, look it up yourself

Actually, Mathis isn't a full-time player. He gets to play in roughly 50% of the defense's snaps. But, that is what is pretty impressive; the guy isn't even on the field half the time but he still leads the league in sacks.

Yeah who would have thought last year at this time that Coles was on his way out?

i wouldnt be opposed to his signing but...
if he plays all downs, he will wear down because he is very light for a DE...we would still need to play one of our DEs about half the time. he would play nearly the same role as our chris clemons does, but get ont he field a little more id imagine

I wouldn't get too worked up over Ray Lewis. He's definitely down several notches from a couple of seasons ago. He could still make plays, but he's nothing like the beast he used to be.

Ray Lewis would be the next Warren Sapp -- used up, spent, and all they've got left are their mouths.

what i was getting at was if we got him, for not too big a salary, he would bring a nastiness to this defense, we wouldnt let down because he wouldnt let us with his fire. every defense needs some nastiness to them, sometimes we dont have that

regarding the o-line, remember jansen is still playing with 2 broken thumbs, guarding brunells blindside, im sure that is causing a lot of the hits on brunell causing fumbles. next year jansen should be back to his stellar form

Oh he's charismatic all right. But I wouldn't bring him in just for that. This team needs to get down to plain old fundamentals to start winning again. Fire only gets you so far. Yes, you want "nasty" defensive players. I think Sean Taylor and Arrington fill that role very well. Nonetheless, it hasn't translated to wins.
