When Von Miller and Denvers D took over games during their SB run, yes they had Ware and Miller on the edges but one underrated story line from that defense outside of its DE's and CB's was that the interior lineman also had career years that year. Last year the eagles interior helped it's edge rushers also have career years. Ravens legendary D had Siragusa and Sam Adams. Giants had Tuck on the inside in beast mode for their great D-lines. The Steelers had Casey Hampton and Co.
It can be a chicken or the egg argument but while edge rushers get the notoriety and stats, everytime passrushers "pop" in the postseason, one can also bank on the interior D-Line playing at a elevated as well.
That said... we got our interior solid AF.... trade for Mack!At this point the niners need to decide if they are really in "win now" mode or still considering this year as a transition as they put together the last pieces. Its steep but 2 1st's would be a bargain for a DPOY. They can always package picks to hop into the end of the first round for a fallen prospect or just continue their trend of mid-late round gems.
No...build the team thru the draft and use that money on multiple players...do NOT use those draft picks AND money on ONE player.
Yes out interior DL is great, guess what you gotta pay Buck sooner than later and that will NOT be cheap.
SF is not a elite pass rusher away from "win now" mode.
I'd throw a 1st and a pick in 2020 at the MOST. Stop throwing Mack in the category of a QB.....because that's what you're basically valuing him as.
Totally agree.
