I think it is time for TT to open the bank vault a little and get some defensive help for the new 3-4 scheme they will be running.
There are a few out there that might be good fits like Igor Olshausky DE, San Diego Chargers.
One of the strongest players in the National Football League, Igor Olshansky (Ee-gor, ol-SHAN-ski) continues to hold down the right side of the Chargers’ defensive line. Igor has been a starter since the day he was drafted in the second round in 2004. In three of his four NFL seasons, the Bolts have ranked in the league’s top seven in rushing defense.
The 2007 season was without a doubt Olshansky’s finest. He finished the year with career highs in tackles (69) and sacks (3.5) and he also recorded the first interception of his career when he picked of Oakland’s JaMarcus Russell on the first play from scrimmage in the regular season finale.
It’s no coincidence that 2007 was the first season since his rookie year in which Olshansky was healthy enough to start all 16 games. While the five-year veteran is known for his brute strength, he’s worked hard with defensive line coach Wayne Nunnely to develop better technique with his hands and body. The extra work paid dividends in 2007 as Olshansky demonstrated his ability to shed blockers in the run game and set a career high with nine quarterback hits.
Or the DE from the Cowboys Chris Canty. He has been very productive for them and would not cost the packers as much as a Peppers or Suggs.
