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.

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.

When you consider our depth, our front 7 is actually pretty good. We may not have pro-bowlers other than DJ or Tamba, but we do have depth. Behind the assumed top 7, you have Gilberry, Powe, Houston, and Sheffield who have all shown enough that I think its reasonable to expect them to all be a positive influence on the defense this season. Gilberry can be assumed at this point I think, but the other 3 should help. Powe is going to be very important rotating with Gregg, considering Gregg's age. Houston and Sheffield should add a needed rush across from Hali. Guys like Studebaker and Jackson may never scare anyone, but they don't have to for this defense to be good. Belcher has looked solid again, proving to me he has no intention of being a stopgap ILB without a huge fight. |

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

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

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 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 would tend to agree. I thought Gilberry was having such a great camp, havent seen him make a splash in the pre-season games?
