I\'m really interested to see how the D-line handles the run, now that Grady isn\'t playing. I always thought Grady wore down in the second half and that was a big reason that teams were so successful running the ball late in the game.

I always thought that the teams that were successful at stopping the run always seemed to have a defensive tackle that was able to penetrate into the backfield and made the running back change his running route. If Wille Whitehead can be a disruptive force in the middle of the defense, it should make this defense much better against the run and pass.

Whitehead has played outstanding at the DE position, but it remains to be seen how he will do at the DT position. Willie just seems like one of those players that is going to be successful no matter where you put him.
