Also it must be noted that we played some pretty tough defenses last year. Our division is sick when it comes to getting to QB's and then add Houston whose defensive line is pretty darn good. The line did pretty well in the SB against just a good defense.


Maybe it will happen as you say. The only thing I am sure about is that Okung will be injured again and miss 3 -4 games. Someone will have to step up, if they don't then Wilson will be running for his life again.

I like the substitution concept they started last year. Cohesion my ass. Rotate them all and see what happens. Keep them at the same positions, just move them in and out for various plays.
Will this tip off the next team? Not if its done well.


I'm not sure how well that would work. Rotating defensive linemen in and out works well as it keeps legs fresh and allows for situational substitutions. But on offense, there's so much more need to communicate between the linemen that a defense-like rotation would be very difficult to manage.

Maybe it won't work. But if I'm not mistaken I saw a bit of that last season during a game or two. Not much, but I noticed it. Don't remember which particular games, I guess if done on a full scale basis I could see your concern.
