mark my words. if/when curtis porter returns, the defense will improve greatly. i believe the problem on defense is the youth of the d-line. as a unit it sucks. we're not strong enough yet. if/when curtis porter returns, he will be able to get pressure from up the middle. then it will be a domino effect. the d-line will then play better. and then the LBs & the secondary will also improve. i'm not saying curtis porter is a great/dominant player by any means. he is just the best DT we have (when healty) IMO.
