what would be our best defensive unit for 2008?

[oraclehorn]

DE Aaron Lewis (moves inside probably for 30% of his plays based on necessity, interchangeable with Houston, imo)
DT Roy Miller
DT Lamarr Houston (man we're thin here)
DE Brian Orakpo
LB Roddrick Muckelroy
LB Jared Norton
LB Sergio Kindle
CB Chy. Brown
SS Ben Wells
FS Christian Scott (yes, throw him in there)
CB Beasley

Injuries could spell doom for this defense, especially with the front 7. DT looks pretty scary right now based on lack of proven ability. Hopefully someone steps up.

Young kids that need to step up in a hurry (in order):

1a. Jarvis Humphrey
1b. Kheeston Randall
2. Eddie Jones
3. Keenan Robinson Russell Carter
4. Curtis Brown Aaron Williams

This could be a very good defense if there are no injuries and one or two freshmen come ready to play.

good line-up. except i'd put Ben Wells at FS and Scott at SS. just because Wells is small, and Scott is bigger.
