re: LB's DT's and DE's signed in 2016

With our strength of the team and the way the nature of the game has transitioned, our base D is pretty much Nickel.

Yes, sometimes there will only be 4 DBs on the field....but the question should be about our "front 6" whether we have three linemen and 3 backers or four linemen and two backers.

And sometimes we'll run dime as well

Agree we need, and will sign, tons of players to play in the box this class. Just wanted to note that the front 7s nowadays include the Dwayne Thomas/Tyran Mathieus of the world
