But they had elite D linemen in those waves -
I have never heard any team refer to defensive line depth in terms of hockey lines. I have been a NFL fan for quite some time and found it to be a new way to describe it, or it was at least new to me. Plus, hockey lines usually swap out all players on the line at the same time, that is what intrigued me. I am not sure if Dodds meant that or not? Looking forward to how it all shakes out.

Teams wised up and realized he can not be blocked one v one like in his early years. On short yardage teams cheat to his spot or down right double team him on short yardage. The Colts need to adjust better imo. The defense cheats to counter Nelson. Running to the right more would counter that. -
Depth has not been the main problem of this defensive line IMO. We've always had solid depth, which is something that's in the Ballard's fundamental philosophy. What we have lacked is top tier talent, especially on the EDGE. Lets hope Laiatu changes that...

Doesn't every team make a different version of this statement about DL depth? JMO, it doesn't seem like anything new to me, especially not with Ballard running the front office. What actually matters I think is whether we have game changing pass rushers, and whether Davis can be impactful from the inside, either at NT or at 1 tech. Davis is decent, I don't have super high hopes for him though. I hope our edge rushers can really get pressure and finish with sacks. And I hope the front can hold up against the run, especially if/when there's an injury to Buck or Grove. I don't expect the pass rush to get any help from the defensive play calling, so it's going to have to be about technique and matchups, I think. And maybe Paye, Dayo, Ebukam actually play better, and maybe Latu can contribute as a rookie. Either way, I think the DL is pretty good.
