Defensive Tackle: With that in mind, it seems as though the interior of the defensive line is the best place to start. Paul Soliai is a free agent and it seems very unlikely that a cap-strapped Jeff Ireland is going to be able to afford the big NT and bring in a FA passer. Soliai has been very strong for the past two seasons and flashed moments of total dominance; ask Nick Mangold. He made the Pro Bowl in 2012, although his 2011 season was much better. Unfortunately, despite his agent saying that a deal could be done in 15 minutes, it’s almost certainly not going to get done and the big man will hit the open market. It’s a shame for three reasons; the first is that he’s very good. Secondly, when you work hard and nurture and goad and trust a player and see him develop only to have him walk, it’s disappointing. And finally, he’s what makes this entire defense tick in the run game. That will be hard to replace.http://weblogs.sun-sentinel.com/spo...aveHyde-blog+(Dave+Hyde+|+Sun+Sentinel+blogs)
