It's possible that one of the rookies will step up, but DL is usually one of the toughest positions for a rookie to excel unless it's a Top 5 pick like Aidan Hutchinson was the other year.So in reality we replaced Eric Wilson (a decent backup who excelled at ST) with a bust LB looking for redemption. To me that's a wash in reality with the possibility of upside. I've been watching Brenton Cox for a while and hoping that he would breakout, but at this point he has a lot to prove.Sure Clark and LVN are coming back from new injuries, but a new season means new injuries for anyone. I'll be the pessimist and say that we really haven't done anything to improve the pass rush. There are factors such as keeping everyone healthy and seeing some combination of Cox or a DL rookie breaking out that would significantly help.If Quay plays like he wants a contract, Cooper continues his impressive play, and Hopper comes alive....that can make things easier on the pass rush. Of course, a good secondary also makes the pass rush look great and vice versa. Unfortunately those two are our weakest spots (specifically thinking CB).</blockquote>
