killings did step up the latter part of the season. both boschetti and aki jones faded and spent most of the latter part of the year onthe inactive list. same with nic clemons. not sure if theses guys are going to step up or if they have maxed out and need to be replaced. we did so well with griffin that getting clancy fromthe giants might be another terrific signing. i expect noble will retire so it means we need a 4th interior lineman from somewhere to fill out the rotation. could be the draft or free agency

clemons couldn't stay with his assignments (tried being superman) and so he got pulled. aki barely made the roster to begin with... I didn't really like boschetti much either, not that he was horrible, but without C griff and big joe, the line stunk. If the next man up can't play well enough to go unnoticed for at least 3-4 plays then he shouldn't be taking the field. Noble i believe retired, but He and Brown (and Green) were all offered jobs in some FO/coaching capacity, so they might be back in that sense.

as for DT #2/#3, cheap options include rocky bernard or rafting tapp and moving him inside after he bulks up. triplett is also out there, but may be more expensive than the team would need for a guy that sees much more limited snap counts.

are we talking about the same clemons? he was used primarily as a third down pass rusher. seemed to be really getting better at it before he went out. i love his potential. his brother nic, is much more of a project. as i said, both boschetti and aki are going to have to prove they belong next year. competition will be good for the team

nic is the one that got pulled, chris is a great sub and definately has a spot on the team next year. So no, apparently we weren't talking about the same one, but you were talking about D linemen (and specifically mentioned nic clemons by name) and nic is a DE, chris is an OLB.
