I doubt we add anyone at DE to replace Okafor. If anything...we might add another DT due to Onyemata potentially getting playing time at DE. Muhammad might also be active on gamedays now.

I seriously think we can get the job done with Hendrickson (he might actually be able to play the run & rush the passer...at least I hope he can), Kikaha, Muhammad, & maybe Onyemata against the run. Only way I can see us adding another DE is if these 4 guys can't get it done. I'm actually much more worried about depth at CB & LB.

Hopefully either Sterling Moore or Dexter McDougle can be the legit #4 CB that we're looking for. If they aren't...I assume we keep bringing in guys until we find what we're looking for. DeVante Harris & Hardee definitely aren't the answer.

We still need to find a #4 LB as well. Bighill got cut, & Mauti basically showed us why he isn't that guy against the Redskins. I had high hopes for Gerald Hodges, but he hasn't taken a single snap at LB yet (we might as well cut Hodges if the coaches don't think he can provide depth at LB, b/c Mauti is better on special teams). I wish the coaches would start the process of finding this guy, b/c an injury (at LB) in the postseason will be a huge problem in certain scenarios (like the scenario against the Redskins) . Thankfully they have almost 2 months to find someone, b/c I highly doubt this problem stops us from making the playoffs.
