the key will be Gallimore
If he can push the pocket then we can have a great DL. If not, these same posters will be here telling us how much Gregory and DLaw are “being held” by OL as if none of the other DEs “get held”
Not sure. Lawrence has been able to get a good amount of pressure despite not getting much pressure from the DTs. Odighizuwa is applying better pressure from the 3-technique spot than we've gotten in years and Gregory is succeeding with that.
I think Lawrence's return alone is going to make this line pretty stout, if he comes off his injury strong, with Parsons adding that extra rusher element. That change alone would make us quite dangerous, but since you said "great," you may be right that it would take Gallimore also finding his groove to take us to that level. We might could be great with just the four pass rushers (including Parsons), but having another tackle who can't be regularly handled one-on-one would make that pass-rushing line difficult to handle. Hopefully, we see it play out that way. We haven't had an overall pass rush close to that since Ware, Canty, Bowen, Ratliff, Hatcher and Spencer.
