It would be nice if Matthews could go back to the outside and Fackrell beats out Peppers. It would keep Peppers rested for money time.

We've got a lot of unknowns and questions, yet the competition looks healthy and intriguing.

The LBs are a question mark. IF everything goes well they should dominate. But there is no guarantee of consistency from the unit.

I'm really excited about Fackrell's potential as a bookend. Hope I'm not jinxing him.

A more consistent pass rush will help our coverage guys, including backers, have to cover in shorter amounts of time and increase the chance of big plays from our defense.
