I was watching a show on the NFLn that showed Deacon Jones talking about their front four, then they showed the Steel Curtain and finally the Vikings great front four from the late 60's to mid 70's. And I wondered why is everyone complaining about us trying to build a front four that rivals these groups.

I know that the game as changed since the 70's, and the OL has gained an advantage of being able to use their hands. But having a DE anchor and solid athletic tackles should be applauded.

Mario is now a given, Okoye is athletic and having a good off season, TJ showed a strong motor last year, he is being over looked by the fans here that are mad at his draft position. The pick of Okam could be interesting, for a big man he has a wiggle and can get separation from blockers, image a sack from a 322lber (check the roster he is listed at an even lower weight then when he was drafted).

I maybe the only one but I like the Cochran and Kalu. And I am hoping that Thompson is able to add some nickle package pass rush.

I say draft another 1st day guy and let them become a DL with a nickname.


BTW the better our DL gets the better OL gets to practice against, another benefit.
