Both have some returning solid starters but also both have some new starting pieces and new guys rotating in. Which do you think will be more of a strength in the 2012 season???

I'm going to say oline will be more consistent but the dline has more potential to be better. With our speed off the edges, they will make some great plays but will have some off games when their speed is neutralized.

Dline. You have 2-3 potential 1st rd picks in next years draft starting on the Dline.

We've seen the D-line do just about everything well. As a group, they've been consistent for years, even with new faces.

As a group, the O-line hasn't proven to be consistent over the years. We still haven't seen our tackles be consistent pass blockers.

Both units will be good enough to easily beat weak to average opponents. The question (again) will be how well they handle comparable competition. I don't need to name names. We all know who that is.

Dline should be great. Oline minus Josh D should be good. I hope Josh D doesn't play. How can a guy who is 6ft 6in not be 300 lbs?

I love the NFL talent of our D-line. Plus, a lot of depth there. But based purely on the starters, the O-line is a bigger strength for our team.

DE loaded
DT Johnson will be a force as compared to last year, a little worried about depth but a guy like Lavar Edwards could move inside if necessary
OT both will play in NFL
OG Collins needs to play somewhere on line
C veteran, backup untested

Bennie Logan I would assume..

He should be a beast next year, but 1st round in next years draft might be a stretch! But no one thought Brockers would be this good and look at him now, predicted 1st round by everyone

.. and also I don't think Mingo is 1st round material..

Logan, Mingo, and Montgomery all have 1st RD potential. Logan was playing better then anybody at the end of the year.
