Run defense...a problem or not?

Wilson will save us 50 rushing yards per game in un-missed tackles and not letting himself be dragged 50 yards.

Totally agreed! Stu and Eugene were really bad last year imo from what I saw.

Hall will allow us more blitzing and stacking the box downs.

Allowing us ta blitz doesn't mean we will. We all know Al doesn't care ta blitz too often. He wants pressure from tha front four.

Sapp was a liability in his last year.

Agreed. I definately feel TK was totally out of position at DE last year and think he'll do much better at his best/natural position.

Ed could bring us a hitting linebacker who can hit gaps.

Pleeeease stay healthy Ed!!!

Of course, but it's just another weapon. Remember, the tuck rule came on a corner blitz. With CWood, the corner blitz was an option. With Nnamdi and Hall back there, the occasional blitz won't mean disaster.
It's a tool in our hands, not a weapon like the blitz happy 3-4 teams.
