Cautiously Optimistic about the defensive line but... (1 Viewer)

..this is what I think of when I hear that the Young, Foskey and Turner are turning heads in practice.

I am too. Hearing Foskey name mentioned a few times more than last year gives me a little hope. Turner just need to stay healthy.

I experienced this as a HC one season.

It was not a good year.

Exactly what I was thinking. The D-Line looks awesome because look at their sparring partners.

Definitely a consideration.

What the heck does Jack Shephard know about football?

He looks a little lost out there to me...

I experienced this as a HC one season.

It was not a good year.

One season I was really concerned about my RB situation. We had nuthin'. Then Alley Broussard showed up.

Still plenty of time before the season starts.

I'll take a sip from that cup of optimism, it's a good way to look at the situation.

 

[Optimistic Ozzy]

Optimistic, I am.

Should Turner (and the others) remain healthy, our D-line would vault to top-3.

It would almost be unfair. Note: The operative word is “almost.” We wouldn’t take any prisoners!

Exactly what I’m worried about. Is the DL that good, or is the OL that bad? I worry it’s more on the OL

There’s a great video in a different thread, in which Deuce McAllister explains that the offense did almost all third-down work today, which are drills the defense usually wins.

Let’s not also lose sight of the fact that the defense has been the strength of the team these past couple seasons. And that the backup DEs are going up against OL riding three-to-a-car to training camp because so many of them are brand-new to town.
