That 2006 group was a monster, you couldn't double team one player without the other getting to the QB. That's the kind of DL we need now to go with these LB's, Safeties and corners we have now. I'm sure we would be ranked in the top three among NFL defenses.

Did that 2006 DLine even play one game as a unit? If they did it was one game.

You're wrong. They started the 06 season in Carolina where they beat the Panthers 20 - 6. The 05 year the Panthers defense was ranked #3.

They played the Bucs the following week and beat the Bus 14-3. The Bucs defense was ranked #1 in 05.

I do believe I know what yhou're talking about though, but we had some very good back up players that year also. Players like:

Shropshire

Davis

CArrington even played well, and there was some others who played a good role on that DL.

Actually I was wrong. The 2006 Dline unit played in a grand total of two games together. @CAR and @NYG. Well 1+ games if you consider Abe didn't make it through the entire CAR game. Abe was hurt early in the season. Kerney was hurt late in the season. Grady and Rod even missed a couple of games. The 1998 unit with Smith, Dronnett, Hall and Archambeau was better.

We're actually missing that Rod Coleman type player. Hopefully Jerry will provide that type of disruption in the backfield.

2006

Kerney Davis Mallard (Kerney on IR week 12)

G. Jackson, TJ Jackson

Coleman, Babs, Shropshire

Abe, Carrington

2010

Bierman, Anderson, Davis

Babs, Walker, Lewis

Jerry, Peters

Abe Sidbury, (2011)Matthews

I will agree that the 2006 starters were better when together

but I think the overall strength on the entire DL squad was better in 2010

ADDED never understood cutting Chad Lavalais and Antwan Lake in 2006

Man, I saw that 06 Panther game and that DL was awesome when those starters played together. And yeah, Lavalais and Lake were true keepers.

I'm pretty sure he means both have been absolute ghosts. Chad was so bad when he was here people called him LavaLump and joked that Grady ate him when he came. The best thing LavaLump ever did was put an illegal spear on McNabb in 2005 and make him cry.

GEEEZ! I forgot about that. :lol:

And where were, G Jackson, TJ Jackson, Mallard, Shropshire, Carrington by mid season in 2007???

The 2006 starting DLine were paper champions. Too many injuries. I would say as a unit they weren't even in the top 20 Falcon Dline starting units. Also The 2008 DLine was better than the 2010 unit. Yep. Even with Busterson. I would say the top 5 Falcon starting Dline units are probably:

2004 - Patrick Kerney, Rod Coleman, Brady Smith, Ed Jasper

1998 - Chuck Smith, Travis Hall, Lester Archambeau, Shane Dronett

1973 - Claude Humphrey, John Zook, Mike Tilleman, Mike Lewis

2001 - Patrick Kerney, Travis Hall, Brady Smith, Shane Dronett

1994 - Chuck Smith, Chris Doleman, Jumpy Geathers, Moe Gardner

Honorable mention to the 71, 72 and 02 starting units.

I have to admit that Humphrey Zook was my favorite DE combo. Not saying they were the best just my favorite
