If we had some guys like Merlin Olsen, Deacon Jones and the other two Fearsome Foursome guys, we'd beat everybody easily.

So, how do we improve our defensive front four ? By next season?

We've been talking about that since Friday. Defense needs to be improved.
We also have a LOT of money invested in our D-line now. When we get a new defensive coordinator we need to make some changes for sure.

Our line has been inconsistent in play for 2 years in a row, and honestly wasn't the thing that brought us to the Superbowl in 2009.

Would love to have a strong line like the 49ers have this season.

With our offense, I'd be willing to settle for about half of what San Francisco can bring with their front 4.
