The DL was my primary concern coming into the season, but they've been a pleasant surprise, but they have a ways to go.
There's no reason to go into some of the things I would have done with the roster construction up to this point, as I can beat that dead horse in the draft forum.
But after a surprising midseason increase in snaps, it's about time to put Saunders back into his rotational role, and elevate Brandon Williams to starting NT.
If teams with Burrow and Allen under center can continue to chew away at our defense with the run game, we're going to get roasted against these teams again.
Nick Bolton is a really good LB, but Bolton if he's clean is elite. Bolton if he's trying to slip an OL is average at best.
Keep our linebackers clean. Plug in a NT.
