Cannot wait to see this defensive line

It's hard to speculate since we have so many. I never thought we'd see Lewis and Green as fourth and fifth year players honestly.

Good point. With Sweat coming back also, it kind of begs the question - do you think they looked around and thought we have the talent to win big this next year if we all come back? Sweat certainly could have gone pro. Leo didn't have the year we hoped for, but I think we kind of know why. Green could have gone pro too, but who knows where he would have been drafted, if at all. We have had that happen in recent years. Bear Wilson and Beniquez Brown are two examples that come to mind. We brought everybody we could when a few players at least could have left.

What I've heard about our upcoming Dline is that Rivers will be our best pass rusher. When you have a guy like Montez Sweat on the line, and another guy named Jeffrey Simmons taking up double teams, it certainly makes me very optimistic.

Sure, I think that plays into their minds. Bear and Brown left after 2015, and we lost a good bit besides them, namely Dak and Jones. 2016 showed that, plus Mullen himself was trying to get out after 2015. I can't really blame them. Morale was low after the end of 2015
