Is the defensive line back?

I'd say that our defensive line is certainly performing better than last year, but that only brings them up to 'average'. Like someone else said, Carter is the only guy who gives us some semblance of pressure, and he is often neutralized.

The only time Tom Brady had problems was in Indianapolis, when Freeney and the rest of the Colts front four applied consistent pressure without having to blitz. And that's the key -- be able to get constant pressure from the two defensive ends, and leave everyone else in pass coverage. If I were the Jets, Bills, and Dolphins, I'd spend everything I have to find guys who can get in Brady's face.
