skins looking at Bryan Robinson (recent cut DE from bears)

we dont need another LB, not even a pass rushing one. we're thick there already, and if speed is a priority then Gildon sure won't have it.

we need to look at any position on the DLine, and any DB.

Gildon can't sign for the minimum until after the first week (i think). He's a veteren that is guaranteed his contract money until then.

I could see Gildon going to the Ravens. They showed interest when he was released by the steelers and now that Boulware is out for a good chunk of the season, I could see them bringing him in. How about us giving Terrel Buckley a look for a Nickel spot.

I'd just feel better if we could get a decent push from our front four instead of relying on LB and CB blitzes 100% of the time.
Well, bringing pressure with the LB's and DB's is what Williams' system is based on. If you look at his Bills' defense of last year they didn't have any household names up front yet they still managed to have an aggressive defensive unit, #2 overall in yards allowed.

They were also tied for 9th best in the league with 38 sacks and were 5th best in points allowed at 17.4 per game.

hmm sounds risky. and obviously why he needs so much speed in his players. wonder what he'd do if he had a killer Dline?

blitzing with the lbs and the cbs is going to help the dls.not only will the ol have to concentrate on blocking the guy in front of him but out of the corner of his little eyes he's gonna have to keep a look out for a lb or a cb shooting in.

you forgot to mention the down side of blitzing cbs and lbs can be...
its not that easy, you have to have a good front four. maybe we have it, but i havent seen it. majority of games are won in the trenches my man. and with guys like demetric evans...? i dunno... we'll see, but i would like robinson cuz he pretty consistant and played under blache as well has a good relationship with him

very true my friend but i think ( being optimistic ) the d line is better than people give them credit for. i also feel that all the blitzing will help them

the skins havn't had a defense as agressive as this one in a long time,not even marvin lewis' defense. i would much rather have an agressive d that might get burnt once in a while than a conservative d that sits back, gets picked apart and still gets burnt.with an agressie d the skins will at least force some turnovers

robinson is an upgrade to noble, or salavea, whoever owuld start. he has been consistent, and has good speed for a DT, although he is undersized somewhat in the weight category. blache knows him, he would not bring him in if he didnt like something about him
