DE is a huge peice of the D puzzle we are missing, and should be addressed. i love the blitzing style of williams myself, but having a pressure front four makes us #1 D in the league hands down. we need a DE speed rusher w/o using lbs... its common sense deutsche.... i mean daseal

We didn't need it last year and with Arrington back we should be better, the only reason we didn't finish #1 is because our offense left our defense on the field for 2/3rd's of every game, I will guarentee you Williams will pressure and sack the QB more than most teams this upcoming season with out a big name pass rusher, I would like you to name the bonified pass rusher coming out of college that will be lets say just a 10 sack player? Drafting a DE doesn't mean he will dominate opposing tackles.

Common sense? How did the Giants in there SB years pressure the QB? With LB's. How do the Patriots who have won 3 of the last 4 SB's pressure the QB? Seymour is their big time DE, and he has totaled 21 sacks in 4 years not exactly a sack machine.

There are many defensive schemes, and the fact is there are very few dominating DE's, so to design a defense to pressure the QB with our LB's and safeties is the smart thing to do, it is much more confusing for the QB.

Anyone would like a big time DE, but unless your saying that either Merriman or Arasmus Jones are big time DE's [because most say they are undersized to be considered true DE's] then they will be used as pass rushing specialists [because we don't want them getting blown off the ball on running plays], where they use their speed not their power, and if that's the case there isn't much difference between our LB's who all are probably faster than either 1 of the 2.

So how do you address the DE problem?

I know Williams addresses it with our LB's and safeties.
