Does anyone remember what Trotter did when he was under a good, experienced coach? He dominated the trenches in Philly. I'd hang on to him not simply because he is young and we'd take a cap hit if we cut him, but because he is good. The MLB position reflects the Dline and Trotter can't do much if he has two guys blocking him because the dline isn't keeping guys off the linebackers.
Trotter is an animal but a crappy dline=a crappy LB corps. Improve the Dline and you will see a commensurate improvement from Trotter.
Let's see, so far we've added a promising, yet disappointing DT in Cornelius Griffin, we're banking on a guy who's coming back from ACL and MCL tears, we picked up a 32 yo average end who had two sacks last season, and we've got Renaldo Wynn at left end. Excuse me, but was anyone else watching how pathetic our Dline was last year? Where is our major Dline upgrade?
I hope we've got something in the works to improve our dline because right now I don't see a very good pass rush and I see Tiki Barber running right up the middle for an 80 yard TD. Does anyone remember how in the Giants at 'Skins game we had Tiki stuffed in the middle and he came out of the melee to gain another ten yards? Tiki ain't Ricky Williams or Jamal Lewis (especially in terms of size) and he ran all over us. What is Gibbs thinking?
