Very true. Not having a threat opposite Von would seriously hamper the success the defense had last season. I'm not sure if having someone that is a truly great pass rusher will be necessary, or if someone lesser can at least force the blocking scheme to account for them enough to give Von some space. I'm hoping that Phillips can at least fill the second role.
Between Wolfe, Knighton, and Sylvester Williams, it seems that they are really focusing on interior pass rush, which I am excited about.
I still like our defense more than KC's.
