How To Make the Defense Legit

Atkins is a HOF DT. That definitely elevates the play of the guys around him.

I think Hubbard has potential. He still needs to improve, but he made a decent amount of splash plays.

It's hard to say on Lawson. He'd make a great 3-4 OLB. In a 4-3, you have to kind of put him at DE...but he's not good against the run. He's kind of a tweener. He can flat out rush the QB though, he just wasn't finishing sacks...and maybe it was that agility.

Glasgow was doing excellent before his injury. He had really high PFF grades. Then guys like Billings were decent. Not spectacular. Not bad. Decent.

I'd LOVE to see a 10-12 sack season out of Dunlap. He kind of hovers in the 7-8 sack range most years.
