It is hard not to be optimistic. They could hardly get much worse than last year. Hopefully if (BIG IF) key guys like Clay and Nick can stay healthy we can really put some pressure on the QB to help out the DBs. I am hoping we can get close to a top 10 D. I think our big guys up front can get us there.

I think Kenny Clark is going to blow the line up every time he hits the field. At only 22 years old this young man has much more room to grow. He played excellent ball last year and soon it will take a double team to contain him. Thus freeing up the rest of the line.

These guys will be free to get after it. Sacks and pressures will be more even across the board. No longer will we obsess over OLBs getting all the sacks.

I'm thinking this defense is going to have a good push up the middle which will let the OLB's kind of hold their edge and pounce when the pocket gets moved outside. It should also help stop screen passes too if our OLB's are holding the edge.

Mucky Tundra (25-Apr) : I may end up eating those words but I think they need a lot more talent then their 4 picks can provide

Mucky Tundra (25-Apr) : I really hope they stand pat and Draft a WR

Mucky Tundra (25-Apr) : @DMRussini

Mucky Tundra (25-Apr) : The Chicago Bears are very open for business at 9 and telling teams they are ready to move for the right price, per source

Mucky Tundra (24-Apr) : Now look, trading up to 13 to take a TE might not seem like a good idea later but it will be later!

dfosterf (24-Apr) : (Your trade up mock post)

dfosterf (24-Apr) : Mucky- The only thing fun to watch would be me flipping the f out if Gute goes up to 13 and grabs Brock Bowers, lol

beast (21-Apr) : Sometimes looking extremely amazing, sometimes looking extremely lost

beast (21-Apr) : I haven't looked into the QBs, but some have suggested Maye has some of the most extremely inconsistent tape they've seen

beast (21-Apr) : Well it also sounds like Patriots are listening to trade offers, not that seriously considering any, but listening means they aren't locked

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Maye needs to be AFC

Mucky Tundra (21-Apr) : Not liking the idea of the Vikings getting Maye

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Vikings HC joked that he may or may not have sent flowers to Bob Kraft. That's where rumor came from.

beast (21-Apr) : Can't tell if this is real or BS, but some rumors about a possible Patriots/Vikings trade for #3 overall

dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.
