Absolutely. It's the offensive equivalent of having a great pass rush making the secondary better. The offense and Defensive lines are the most crucial part of any team....maybe even more than the QB. The run game can set everything else up, and the run game starts in the trenches. I think you can see how close we are to having a great defensive line, and I think there's plenty of reason for optimism on the offensive side of the ball.
