Since the front seven works as a unit, its hard to specify which will have a bigger impact. Great LB's can compensate for an average D-line and conversely a great D-line can compensate for a average LB's.
I'll just go with the Jim Finks philosophy. The closer you are to the LOS the more vital you are.
The front line gets my vote too. I like what we have in Jordan, Bunkley, Jenkins, Hicks, as well as Tom Johnson, Coleman (he could be crucial).
The success or failure of that group will determine how good or bad our defense will be.
+1....and our best pass defense will be a strong rush. There were way too many instances last season where our defense allowed opposing QB's get 'comfortable' in the pocket. Even a average NFL QB with average receivers will pick you apart without effective pressure. Call me crazy but I expect Wilson to be the X factor on D.
