Doubt that. The man had 11 sacks last season.

As a 4-3 defensive tackle. He never had 11 sacks in the 3-4. Playing in the 3-4 with D.Ware right on his hip, the most sacks he ever had was 4.5.

Besides, Joseph is younger.

Well we ran a four man front 62% of the time so...

Dallas under Wade Phillips would do similar things.

The difference, IMO, was less with the scheme and more with Marinelli's philosophy to not read and react but just hit the assignment aggressively and at full speed. That's what seemed to turn Hatcher from just a guy into a GUY.

yup Haslett will do the same. no more of the 2 gap stuff.

Riley and ?ILB are gonna have to stop the run

I'm kinda diggin what we have done so far. Fairly conservative approach, but I like the focus on the defensive side - particularly locking up our two most important FAs in Orakpo and Riley. I think we have improved the secondary with Porter, added some LB depth and the potential for a more robust pass rush with the D Lineman signings. The O-Line got a little love, and we added a nice speedy slot receiver (possible return man).

We didn't make the big splash some on here have craved, but I think we have quietly done a pretty good job thus far - and we still have the draft.

The draft? We ain't nearly done with Free Agency yet! Stay tuned.

You may be right. Maybe the plan was to allow the first wave of huge contracts go by and then hit the 2nd echelon FAs hard. We shall see.

Either way, I'm happy with the somewhat conservative approach. I would like to see them lock up Orakpo still.
