Your Thoughts on the D-line...

It's important to keep Golston and Montgomery because they are valuable rotation guys but honestly I was pretty disappointed in Monty last year. I was expecting him to blossom and instead he seemed to take a step backwards.

I'm not taking up for Monty but he was injured at the beginning of the year and Golston got the nod over him. But I agree, it's time for him to step up and make an impact. With his size and strength he needs to step his game up a couple of notches or is he always going to be the sleeping giant?

Overall I'm much more concerned offensivley, than defensivley at all positions including the line...but looking just at the dline at this point.....

Keeping Evans/Golston/Montgomery are priorities to me.

At this point, I think having Griffin, Daniels, Taylor makes our team better next season, but in the long run, I think they'll all be gone anyways before we make any realistic impact in the playoffs....

I just want to get younger and faster at the defensive end position & bigger at the D. Tackle position...

I will say I'm very suprised we extended Andre Carter....I thought he's been ok, but nothing spectacular here.

Ditto on Monty. I haven't at all given up on this kid though and really hope he's the x-factor this season... added pressure up the middle will pay dividends for our DEs and hopefully for the addition at SLB.
