    Only 25 (right now). On IR. A DT we can rely on next season?

    yes and yes, hell, we could probably activate him for the bills game and he'd get more pressure than vern.

    Rather get a DT through draft or give jenks another chance...

    he was getting more pressure than anyone in PS, but what does that really mean? He'll definitely be back and he'll definitely contribute, but he definitely does not mean we don't need more help.

    Its tough not to. Hard Knocks made his injury a very sad moment in the preseason. That look on Rex's face was unforgettable. He was crushed.

    He'll be a rotational player if he's healthy. Another Mike Devito.

    This team does need a monster with the DL. I'm not talking about a sackmaster, I'm talking about a difference maker.

    No he's a player with good potential.

    Great player is reserved for those who make the pro bowl. Brick is a great player.

    Remember how pissed Rex was when he got injured? I think he was really excited about him this year. Too bad.

    I'm pretty sure Rex was planning on him to be a big force in the pass rush to free up Pace and Taylor. I was really looking forward to seeing him this season.

    I'm worried about the effects of a major knee injury on the quickness of a 6' 8" 315 lbs player.

    We didn't have Pace at the time.

    He was part of the reason the 09 D was so good last year. He was rotating in with Pouha, Ellis, & DeVito before & after Jenks went down and he was an impact player. Not great, but better than servicable.

    I think our front 7 misses him more than you think.
