Started this thread 6 months ago and I was called nuts. You are obviously wrong because now that we have size up the middle it's taking pressure off the ends so they can get to the QB.

Don't mess with a perfect theory as it may throw the board into chaos and they may have to recognize that some of us were right.

I think most teams are saying this exact same thing.

HH who would call you nuts for wanting a Bruce Smith Type DE? NO ONE.

We have no pass rush. Hence why we need a Bruce Smith type.

Well i think any team can use a hall of fame DE type.

Considering that Bruce Smith is the greatest DE to play the game I'm not so sure another one like him will be easy to find.

I think the thread was more about getting anyone who could actually get to the QB.

Someone who can play at a higher level than Schobel and Kelsay, that's all I'm saying.

Hall of fame DE's aren't exactly a dime a dozen.

I've been saying we needed better DE's for about two or so years ago, as for a Bruce Smith type. That maybe a little too much wishful thinking.

Just remember back to 2001. We could have had Dwight Freeney instead of the Mike Williams pick. Where was Marv during those drafts?

Ok right I agree. Who was not agreeing with this?

There will NEVER be another Bruce Smith. He and Reggie White were in a class of their own. The only guy who even came close was Strahan, and he's still a level behind them. So, just forget about that.

However, we do need to upgrade the DE position. In fact, think of the amount of attention that's been spent on the DL over the last 2-3 years:

1. Drafted McCargo, Kyle Williams and Chris Ellis
2. Brought in Tripplett (gone), Hargrove (suspended-likely gone), Copeland Bryan, Spencer Johnson, Marcus Stroud.
3. Resigned Denney, Kelsay and Schobel.

For a unit that's received that much money and attention, the DL has been very disappointing, particularly in the pass rush.

Copeland Bryan is the only DE that I saw get ANY pressure sunday. That is not good.
