I know that Denney has played better than last year, but I gotta tell ya, I'm still not enthusiastic about his level of play. I don't think it's been above average nor has it been worthy of a "trade-up" 2nd rounder. Nevertheless, I really don't see it improving our "other DE spot" from last year much.
Same w/ Adams. In fact, I think we may have stepped down w/ Adams. The man can't move. He commands no double-teams any longer. He has absolutely no semblance of a pass-rush. He's gotten knocked back on his ass at least twice in PS by lesser known OL-men not nearly his size. And he doesn't even drive off of the line.
He's OK in the first drive or two but then his play drops off like a lead balloon.
I'm just curious if I'm the only one thinking that we're not much better off on our DL this year.
The LBs have been great and Posey's pleasantly surprised me. But we can't always overcome poor DL play and lack of DL pass rush w/ our LBs or we'll give up all that middle passing yardage in an empty defensive backfield that we gave up all preseason. Not a good weakness to have when playing the Pats, a team that thrives on the short passing game.
Just curious how many share the same concerns...
