The biggest problem is that Cornelius Griffin isn't the player he was in '04 and just last year. Ditto for Salave'a. When you have someone wreaking havoc at the defensive tackle position, the linebackers look great.

We need a D-tackle more than anything. And the draft is solid for linemen for the position we'll be drafting in.

Yep, I agree with you Beem. When you have the defensive front stopping the run and putting pressure on the quarterback, then the linebackers are golden and it lifts the entire defense's play. I also agree about the system being fine. If it wasn't, it wouldn't have been the success it was the past couple of years here and the success Gregg Williams has had in previous coaching tenures.

I do believe, however, we are in need of upgrading our secondary.
