when teams find more success running around our Dline than they do through it, then its not really the Dlines fault

statistics dont show anything about the defensive line and they cant. defensive linemen dont make tackles, they open up plays for other guys to make. DEs get sacks and pressures but thats about the only thing that shows up on the stat sheet

dont ever blame the defensive line for not putting up whatever stat you want. stats are irrelevant when it comes to both lines

Whoa nelly...not true..the game is won in the trenches...a dominant D-Line would make our back 7 look like probowlers..they play in spurts..with the beef we have we should be collapsing the pocket on a regular basis...

If games are won in the trenches and we keep winning games then what is the problem with our trenches?

Defensive linemen don't record a lot of stats and anybody that bases their arguments solely on linemen tackles and sacks doesn't really understand what their responsibilities are.

Our linebackers aren't very good and even our defensive line that is built to be tops in the league can't make bad linebackers into hall of famers
