I honestly believe Vermiel was counting on Dan Williams to be ready by the regular season. It looks like he won't be, so that really leaves us 1 defensive tackle short as planned. Behind Browning and Steve Martin, there really isn't that much. I think Downing and McCleary will be tough as the year goes along, but Vermiel most likely won't wait for that to happen. I think he will grab a DT off of Waivers, but it remainds to be seen if that DT will be a career backup, or a Cortez Kennedy/Maa Tanuvasa?
