How are you feeling about the D-Line?
 

I think they've looked pretty good throughout the preseason.
Gregg has shown some stoutness against the run. The DE play has been fantastic. Do you guys have any concerns going into the regular season?

Gregg is going to tighten up our interior defense.

Jerrel Powe has shown some athletic ability and speed.
He plays too high, but has still been a load.
When he learns to play low, he's going to be a beast.

Amon Gordon took some snaps on the nose against the Rams, and looks like he might also be able to contribute to a rotation that allows Gregg to stay fresh.

I have thought Jackson has looked good this preseason when he plays with fire.

more worried about our linebackers tbh

Is this the year Tyson Jackson lives up to the hype?
(I might be trolling a 'lil' bit here)

Don't think he ever lives up to the 3rd overall pick but i do think he will be much better this year. I am becoming a little worried about our secondary as the ps wears on. hopefully it is just preseason.

I don't think he will ever live up to being #3 but I think it will be his best season yet by a long shot.

Kind of like he played against SD on Monday night last year except for 19 games. :D

The starters are well above average and the depth is very talented and young.

I think we're fine as long as the LB's fill their gaps correctly.

Why?

He'll never live up to the hype, but he can be a solid 5 tech.

I think we have assembled a pretty solid front 7. If Houston, sheffield, and powe continue to grow we have some good depth and have a great front 7

I'm hoping for a Glenn Dorsey Pro Bowl campaign season

Haven't heard his name much this preseason. haven't really looked for him tho.

Well above average?? Hum only Dorsey can really be considered above average at this point.

I think the Dline is good enough as Im confident Jackson will prove to be just a notch below what Dorsey was last year.

And the overall defense can only go up. I mean, Hali, DJ, Flowers, Carr should stay the same but Berry, Lewis, Belcher should improve a bit and Justin Houston will be a key, if he provides enough pass rush and can be as good a OLB as MOeaki was at TE last year, I'm thinking that defense can be close to top 5.

I think DJ is going to flourish even more this year. He looks highly motivated this year. I don't think anyone will argue he has the potential to be one of the better ILB in the leage with his athleticism. If Belcher can keep improving and be the thumper, with a true NT infront of them, they can be much better than they were this year.
