I always get a bit antcy (sp) when the defense is ruling everything in practice, but I have to think that's also a good thing. Having a shutdown D just can't be all bad.
If the O-line is having problems with the D it may mean everyone else is going to as well.
So ask yourself, would you rather have an offensive line that can manhandle the defense or a defensive line that can manhandle the offense? Pick your poison.
Is our D really that good? Did everyone miss on Lawson for 4 rounds and the Bengals stole him??
OR...the flip side is...
Lawson is looking unstoppable because our O-line flat out sucks and the D as an entire unit looks great because....the o-line sucks.
Good news is we'll have a better idea of which side is true after the first preseason game.
