Does anyone else see defensive tackle as a problem?

Neither Vickerson or Wright project as future NT's. That's what this team needs as our only one is Traylor and possibly Zgonina who are 37 and 36.

i'm sure we will sign sam adams eventually,but maybe his asking price is too high but then again i don't think he's getting alot of interest either considering other NT's have been signed already. be patient saban has a plan!!!:dolphins::D

I think Dolphins are okay at defensive tackle. They have two young players in Manny Wright and Kevin Vickerson who should be pretty good down the road. So they have some youth there.

D-tacle and ends as far as that goes is in great shape IMO. Vickerson was on pace to maybe even push for a starting job if not for those cheapshotting Falcons. Manny was getting in the backfeild and really looking good at the end of the season and Carter and Holliday was our best D-lineman period. Throw in JT and Roth coming into his second year with depth at end already and we are set. No their shouldn't be too many people concerned with D-line much less D-tackle.

Brodrick Bunkley and Rod Wright are not Nose Tackles. They would occupy the same DE/DT positions as Kevin Carter, Vonnie Holliday, etc.

Manual Wright is not a rushing down Nose Tackle. He rotated in on rushing downs at times for Zgonina when Traylor was out, but that's not his game.

i think in our defensive scheme, manny would project to the NT (traylor) and vickerson would project to the DT (Holliday)... i think they can both come in and play in a reserve role for those guys for this year and be ready to take over soon...

also the fact that we can put KC inside if needed and roth or bowens on the outside gives us flexibility in case of an injury...
