The DL right now is the strength of the D, assuming Samuels isn't hurt. I think Slayton is our best DL. The other DEs are raw but the 3 other starters on the line are all solid.

I am a bit worried about LB. IMO Thomas has been our best LB this year. Bennett played a similar role last year as Thomas has this year. He has been very quiet in his new role. Hopefully that is more learning a new position/system than being a poor fit for that role. I think LB might be our biggest weakness right now.

IMO the biggest issue with the CBs is the lack of run support. We don't have a physical corner who can force a run back inside.

Our Safeties are young and I think long term it can be a position of strength. I really like what I saw last year on STs from Ellison and on D the first 3 games this year. He has been our best DB so far. I think he will minimize the loss of Cordy. Where we are hurt the most with Cordy is the Nickel package. Next year it will stink that one of these guys likely won't be on the field. I think Whitner has a lot of potential but his tackling has been poor this far.
