He's a speed guy ... Our DLine is capable, but has probably seen 2 of the better OLines in the league these past 2 weeks.

To defend Andre Carter because he's a 'speed guy' and has trouble getting around 350-pound linemen doesn't speak well for him.

The argument that our D-line has trouble with the "better" offensive lines is getting quite tiresome. The idea is to be able to compete with good O-lines. If we continue to excuse the capability of our defensive front four because we can't compete with the "better offensive lines" then we might as well write this year off.

My sentimens exactly, Beemnseven. So far, two weeks in a row, Carter has faced two top flight tackles. So what.

NO definitely not. But as Matty has said, its 2 games in adn a long season. lets hope for the best. I believe we have the talent on Offense and Defense now they just need to mesh and play better. Not sure about all those defenses as I haven't seen them play; but Chicago and Pittsburgs' "d" is so great because its confusing to the Offenses and its very aggressive. Putting lots of press. on the QB. We have not done that at all so far.
