but abraham and kerney on the ends with grady in the middle is your ideal line, definately better then baltimore to me, and close with chicago because tommie harris is a top 4 DT in the NFL right now

1. Jenkins
2. Stroud
3. Henderson
4. Harris

after that shaun rodgers, casey hampton, and others come to mind, but i think those are the 4 top DT right now

but ATL possesses one of the top DE's, and another a top 10, with big Grady clogging up holes for the run game, and i like that mix

Cough Shaun Rogers Cough....

i dont agree with him but:

Even Panthers fans, at least some, will agree Kris Jenkins isn't fully back yet. The best defensive tackle play this season has been from Shaun Rogers by far. He is the best, because he's a load, while still distrupive in the backfield.

I would say Patriots DL but I would be an homer.

Btw, it's the team's deepest unit.

3-4 teams don't count when you talk about Dlines. The fact that theres one less person on the line simply makes it impossible for a 3-4 team to have the best dline.

If we did talk about best 3-4 Dlines though, Id give it to San Diego. Castillo, Williams, Olshanksky is one sick core. Dallas is solid at the End position, but lack a dominant NT, and Pitt has a dominant NT but lack strength at End. NE has the 2nd best 3-4 line.

but being the weakest in out D is not a bad thing.. especially looking at our secondary(reed, mcalister, roole, landry) and lb's (lewis, at, scott)....

skill wise there is no team that matches the D as a whole, but i wouldnt say the ravens have the best DLine(its close though)

Shaun Rogers is probably the best DT I've ever seen.

Like I said, Kemo isn't used to the system yet and Jenkins isn't 100%, when they both click, we'll be hard to go past imo.

I have a feeeling the Bucs offensive line will make the Panthers d-line look like the best in the league.
