The thing he isn't taking into account are the other variables, though.

Gregg and Gordon were on 1 year deals and aren't spring chickens...bringing Gregg back would be a mistake because I think Powe deserves to have a chance to play. Powe played all of 10 snaps last year.

Soliai would solidify this defensive line and would make our rotation impressive throughout the whole DL. If he hits the open market, we should make a run at him. You simply can't watch that guy play and not be reminded of Dan Saleamua.

Let Gregg and Gordon both walk and sign Soliai. Go into next year with Soliai and Powe at NT.

Just how I see it.

I do like what Gordon gave us this year as the NT "tweener" replacing Shaun Smith. Just look at Green Bay this year with the injuries they sustained on the defensive line and how that turned an otherwise potent defensive unit from 2010 into a Greg Robinson 2002 Chiefs defense. Injuries to Ryan Pickett, Mike Neal (who was supposed to replace Cullen Jenkins) and Howard Green absolutely devastated that team. BJ Raji looked like a soft bitch.

I'm confident that Allen Bailey and Wallace Gilberry are rock-solid depth guys at end, but if things start to get hairy, we'll need an Amon Gordon to play both positions so we can keep the rotation going.
