The same kind of wishful thinking that some of these new D-linemen are going to play key roles. Historically, defensive linemen don't contribute right away. It is a tough position to learn and also the young guy's bodies just aren't ready for playing with grown men. Most DLs don't play more than a part-time role until their second or third seasons. Even Kenny Clark wasn't a full time player, and he was a first round pick. It's a lot to expect a 6th round and UFDA to pick up the slack.I am hopeful but cognizant that Hafley is going to have to get REALLY creative to stop the run.My high school coach told us that we'd be champions because we were lighter and faster than everyone else...we lost every game. I lost my starting NT job mid-season because the center kept depositing my body behind where the LBs had been. There's nothing like bulk on the line.</blockquote>
