Defensive lines

I think it's pretty accurate... NE has a awesome D-line, putting us at 5 sounds about right to me! They'll look even better this year with the LB corps.

Looks about right to me as well.
 
They ranked the top 16 teams defensive lines and they ranked us 5th behind the Patriots, Jaguars, Panthers, & Chargers.

5. Miami (8) (last year's rank in parentheses.)

Like the Panthers, the Dolphins had a very disappointing 2006, and again, the defensive line was not the problem. Jason Taylor was a very deserving Defensive Player of the Year, wreaking havoc on opposing quarterbacks and playing stout run defense. The middle of the defensive line is a little old with Vonnie Holliday and Keith Traylor. Holliday, though, clearly has something left, and gets good penetration from the interior. The key to the unit will be a couple of untested players. Second-year defensive end Matt Roth takes over as the starter and should be more disruptive than the departed Kevin Carter. Support in the middle of the line comes from Paul Soliai, a rookie from Utah who replaces the ineffective Jeff Zgonina.
 
May be because I'm a fan but I say we are 3rd behind the Pats and Jags. But again we have a ? with Roth. I think he turns out just fine but you never know.
 
I think that's a very accurate assessment of the defensive line(s). Hopefully Traylor is stout again in the middle (for at least one more year), and Roth has the breakout season we've all been waiting for from him.
