2011?

If we end up in the playoffs (not likely now with the worst D in the league, and so many injuries to key players), then for the first time in this franchises history, I would be for trading up to get either 1) that dominant DT we have been looking for forever, or 2) another game changer on offense like AJ or similar.

Hmm, does seem it is defense that needs the help right now anyways.

I hope they can find the dominant DT somehow who can push middle of O-line back so opposing QB can't step up in pocket, then QB has to go out where our DE's will get him.

It does seem that a dominant DT would upset the pocket and force the QB to flee or get sacked. Oh boy how good that would be!

I'm hoping for another defensive end or the dramatic recovery of Barwin. Ugh! Mario can swing to the strong side if need be so the Texans can bring in a speed rusher.

DT Rick Fairly of Auburn looked pretty good in their game against LSU.

As for going to a 3-4, I echo that we don't have a verifiable NT, and besides they just cut DT Frank Okam, the only NT type we had on the roster.

All the talk about moving LBs around has also been answered by moving Cushing to Mike, leaving Diles at Will, and making Bentley the Sam. Not bad moves I guess.

HELL YES!! Nick Fairley is a beast. I would use my 1st rounder on him and hope S. Acho is there for our 2nd rounder, or take a true NT in Kendrick Ellis, 6-5 340.
