Agreed with everything. Our whole D-line is in need. I like Quinn, but he's getting old. We need a young DE to compliment D-Law. We need 2 stuffing DT's. Woods was good every 3 games (not counting his games where he was injured). CB. We have 3 FA CB's. I want to tag Byron as he might be better at tracking the ball under a new defensive scheme, but I'm not sure.
We have lot of evaluating to do. I also want faster players. If you look at the Chiefs and 49ers, a lot of their players have bursts and speed. Our players are slow in comparison. We need to pay attention in the combine and observe the speed of players in positions we need.
Our DTs need an upgrade for sure. But Rod's scheme would literally rush them right out of running plays. Can't tell you how many times I saw Covington, Collins or Woods flush our DEs right out of the play allowing TWO OL to get to the linebackers (who would then overrun the play) and onto our DBs. The Packers and Vikes had guards just looking for someone to block. We definitely need to upgrade DT but I'm willing to bet any new scheme they install is going to improve our interior play.
