How about COACHING being the negative variable? Look at our own defensive line...Mack, Bosa, Tuli...even with Bosa out a lot, Mack is still elite and Tuli is solid and ascending...a lot of coaches would LOVE to have our D-line...add to that Derwin and Gilman...then ASJ and a few others...it's a known fact that Staley's lame and complex Pattern Match D held back our play...I say BAD COACHING can turn even talented players into ineffective players...

I’m just hoping Bosa outlast or at least keep up with Mack this year. He already let him down two years in a row.

All that talent and they didn’t win games. It makes you question the value having a great DL.

Chase Young missed a ton of games. When healthy he's not dominant.

Montez Sweat was a 6 - 8 sacks a year guy ... before last year.

Back 7 was ho hum

I remember the late 70s DL that dominated. And I remember Jamal "YOU CAN'T RUN" chants echoing thru the valley.

A Great DT can eliminate the shortest route to offense success (up the middle) and disrupt the rest of offensive options. He pulls multiple OL to counter him, freeing up LBs more often. He cuts off the front of pocket, making Edge rushers more effective as QB range of movement is reduced. But Edge and LBs still need to play the fucking game, one DT by himself ain't gonna stop 11 players all on his own. Idunno the Commanders 2023 situation, can't comment holistically there.

I'm a big huge gigantic enormous enthusiastic fan of a great DT and I hope we get one. Won't be 2024, but 2025 or 2026, I expect this to be a target position. but who knows, there are 21 other spots and 20 of them might also need priority upgrade.

I'll never forget a Monday Night Football game, when John Madden was raving about how good Jamal was...about how he would routinely get such good penetration that he would disrupt even the QB handing off to the RB...it would be nice to see THAT kind of play again...

Jamal was unique. Players like him don’t come along often.

He's due for a good year. Ben Herbert (training) and Minter (play count) can help.

Jamal played several years before he bloomed. It took the right DC and scheme. I wouldn't rule out our roster just yet.

Would you trade for Jonsthan Allen as per rumors ?

Can he save me a few bucks and wear number 13?

It could not be a better start to any offseason, than this year… the best ever, no one have ever seen this. Hmmmm talking points.

Im so excited for this years team. We have a man who builds teams, deep with commitment. Like any team, the more buy in, the more chances for success.

The fact we get to play the Raiders week one, it can’t get any better than that.
