yes, as the season's gone on our d-line seems less able to put pressure on a consistent basis. Carter is always good for a qb hurry or sack, but he can't be the only one.

I think that has more to do with issues in coverage. Rogers out, Taylor, Smoot in and out each week, Springs nicked up and personal issues, etc.

Just my opinion but I really think you guys are really discounting Doughty...
He's no Sean Taylor but then ST was a supernova anyway, a once in a lifetime player...All we need is a decent starter I think Reed fills that role nicely...the schemes can be changed to play to Doughty's strengths and weaknesses just like they did with Sean...We've got some outstanding young players in Landry, McIntosh, Rogers, Blades, etc...

Our priorities should be the O&D-line, then the O&D-line, then the O&D-line...oh and did I mention the O&D-line?

I'd love to see him prove me wrong but I really don't think that Doughty is the answer.

The 2 are so co-dependent it's hard to tell at times. Since you brought it up, maybe the coverage has been the bigger difference. We did start losing as soon as ST got hurt in the Philly game.

I do agree that Doughty isn't a long term answer. I think if it comes down to a decision between d-line & saftey they will pick the best player, just like last year w/LL.
