I have to say I concur with those who expected more from the Front Office regarding the D-line. Daniels and Griffin have proven to be nothing more than average players, save for Griffin's rookie year which was 4 seasons ago. It's true that somebody massive will have to man the middle in a 3-4. There's just nobody we've got who can handle that on a regular basis.

Still, I must reserve judgement, and give the benefit of the doubt to our much better prepared and experienced coaching staff with this matter.

The only other thing I would mention is the possible need for more inside-type linebackers to the mix. Currently it's only Jeremiah Trotter and Kevin Mitchell. Rumors are starting about Trotter getting the ax on June 1. If that's the case, and Mitchell's the only other LB who has experience in the middle, then the list of needs only expands even more. Maybe Clifton Smith, Chris Clemons, and this Favors guy will suffice.
