what a nice young D-Line
 

Jordan Jenkins Hicks

Could become dominant for many years. Jenkins was a great pick, didnt think he'd be there.

Re: what a nice young D-Line
 

I agree. He is a big man that can move well. I like the way he sheds blocks. The Saints did a pretty good job tonight.

Re: what a nice young D-Line
 

Going to be a young defense all round

Butler,Gallete,Martez
Jenkins,Vaccaro
Jordan,Hicks,Jenkins
Robinson,Lewis

Lewis is the oldest at 26

Loving the way it looks on paper. I can't wait to see how it translates! Is it preseason yet?!?! :-)

Re: what a nice young D-Line
 

On paper, I don't really see a weakness.

Several players are still unproven in our 3-4, but it really looks good on paper.

Re: what a nice young D-Line
 

There's a reason why we say "In Loomis We Trust!" He damn sure proved it tonight... Well done boss!

Re: what a nice young D-Line
 

It's amazing how he always seems to pull us through.....it's even more amazing how we always seem to doubt him,even if just a little,when things get crazy. I've got a serious man crush on him! Ha ha....just joking......kinda

Re: what a nice young D-Line
 

I know what you mean... I was so skeptical last night when we picked Vacarro but after his performance tonight I don't think we could possibly have a better GM!!

Re: what a nice young D-Line
 

All of this is looking pretty damn good! Still hoping we can get a pass rusher on the outside though!

Re: what a nice young D-Line
 

BEAST MODE!!!!!

Re: what a nice young D-Line
 

We may already have one on our D and don't know it yet. We're just gonna have to let this year pan out to see what we've got. If need be,we'll pick one up in next years draft. I think we've got a great foundation to build on!

Re: what a nice young D-Line
 

The D-line will become even younger next offseason when Will Smith's and Kenyon Coleman's contracts are up - hopefully the young guys will soak up all the good things from these vets while they're still around.

Re: what a nice young D-Line
 

This is an intriguing line. I can see us having Hicks, Bunkley and Jenkins on the line on running downs just clogging everything up.

Re: what a nice young D-Line
 

I agree this COULD be a dominant group :cool:

Re: what a nice young D-Line
 

Potential out the wazoo!

Re: what a nice young D-Line
 

Mel Kiper just said that Jenkins was our best pick on the ESPN post-draft special,

Re: what a nice young D-Line
 

"-" Robinson I'd say paper-wise it looks promising.

I'm really interested to see how the guys who didn't get to start last year can step up in their new roles. But really, won't we consider anything under 7K yards given up as an improvement? I'd settle for a CB who lines up with a #1 receiver and decides to actually cover him during the course of the entire play.

Re: what a nice young D-Line
 

Part of that was the zone scheme, so it wasn't all on the players themselves. But I'll give you there were definitely some missed assignments whether it be the initial coverage or the exchange of coverage between two DBs.

Re: what a nice young D-Line
 

Oh no, I'm straight up talking Robinson deciding to let Steve Smith just run down the field after lining up with him and then deciding to cover the friggin' TE instead.
