No Chubb and no Ware have put the spotlight squarely on him and teams are playing that.

Chubb and Casey should help out big time this year

You are correct. He can't do it by himself. He needs help to compliment his talents, and that 2015 defense did that.

They've asked waaaaaayyy too much of Von the last few years, expecting the Defense to play to the point of almost offense, it was ridiculous. The weight of leadership was too much too, with him being the assumed defacto leader of the team. Lock will help take the camera off of him for better or worse.

You need to come to me to get a lesson in all things NFL Football.

He hasn't lost a step. our defensive line rotations were garbage at the beginning of the season last year. Shelby Harris at nose tackle really? when Von work himself back into form was not actually when we got another outside linebacker to generate pressure it was when we started seeing consistent pressure up the middle again. In 2015 he not only had DeMarcus Ware, but Derek and Malik were both generating consistent pressure up the middle.y'all know me I'm a dyed-in-the-wool orange glasses Homer, but system and again that horrible rotation we were running early in the season hurt him as much as Chubb being out.

you ain't wrong. . .

and von ain't young. . .


will the line be better without wolfe? will chubb be nasty right out of the gate? do they have a third rusher who can give the top two a breather? do they have the right personnel to hold up better in the back seven?

He's not the same guy he used to be. He's still a hoss, though.

I said Tuszka reminds me of Jared Allen before I heard anybody else say that. So market down
