Holdman may be the sorest thumb on the defense right now, and the most easily replaceable, but all the LBs have struggled in tackling and pass defense. Like SGG pointed out, the interior pass rush is non existant. We are great vs the run on the inside with Griffin and Saleve'a, which is the most important thing, but they don't generate a pass rush. And what really hurts is when you have Andre Carter and Holdman on the same side vs the run. Seal Lemar Marshall off, and you have a big run.

I think we do need to get a young playmaker at DL in the offseason. Griffin is still playing at a high level, but is aging, and Saleve'a is good as long as he is playing beside someone better than him. Andre Carter is pretty much just Chris Clemons, IMO. A great situational pass rusher who is too weak at the point of attack to be an every down player. Gaines Adams would look beautiful in burgundy and gold.
