They've got their work cut out for them,we are facing some of the best DT's and DE's in the league this year.
It's going to be fun watching D'Brick v. Seymour Week 10, and comparing it to their performance against each other in Week 2. Do Williams and Bush play against each other this season?
Looking at him during his games and in his workouts I think Ferg will have no problem pass protecting all of them, but most are going to be a problem on running plays. Mangold has some big DTs to face and will probably get help on most plays from Kendall or Moore.
Week 4 (Colts): Freeney/Simon and Reagor thats the one to see if he is worthy of a #4 pick. simon is healthy and hsould have a huge year
