my D wish list:
1 sign nate
2 spikes gets healtheir (the most certain out of all of thes imo) and moves INSIDE
3 we sign AT LEAST 2 new DTs -- 1st rounder and a FA
4 Adelious thomas from balty becomes our Sam backer
with spikes in the middle, thomas on the strong side, and ellison/crowell on the weak side (i think crowell is very well suited to wlb in our D) our backing core would go from small and not that fast/experienced to a salty squad of quick and beefy vets. without having to soak up blockers on the strong side spikes will reak havok in the middle, and AT is a terror who beats up tight ends and can disrupt opponents.
our front 7 is weak, adding AT, getting spikes and crow back heathy gives us a 3 man upgrade and a whole lot more size. throw in 2 dts in our rotation and mcargo playing in his second year and we might be top 12 against the run -- which with our pass d and o and st is enough to get us a lead agianst most anyone.
