Per Karen Guregian. It's early, but still encouraging

It seems that they have realized that they need an actual rotation now and worked to build it. I'm a little iffy on Will Smith. He looked done before he went down with injury. But I have high hopes for Buchanan on top of hoping that they try Hightower at DE more often this season. Easley can also play a bit of DE too.It's encouraging I suppose even though we haven't even played a preseason game yet. Last year the biggest issue with the pass rush is the fact it failed on us when it mattered most. We failed to get Peyton's jersey the littlest dirty in the AFCCG last year. We saw what Seattle did in the SB last year, it's time we start beating the living **** outta Manning in those big games.

I agree, and I really hope that Easley will be able to be a big factor by the end of the regular season. In addition, it's safe to assume that the improved secondary will also allow the pass rush to be better as well.
Or perhaps the improved secondary is wondering why someone would SHOOT a man before throwing him out of an airplane!
Sorry. That's the last Bane reference I'll throw your way.
