Cook or Walker?
I'm going Walker. I know Cook was a stud but I don't think it will be that difficult to replace his production. Yes it will take a couple Noles to do it but the production will still be there. Walker was dominant in every aspect of the game. Not only did he get sacks but I can't remember how many times I saw him shove off a lineman and make a tackle on the RB. His play recognition was off the charts. Burns will continue to get his sacks but will he be able to stop the run. Or do we look elsewhere? J Rob or Kaindoh perhaps. Another thing we lose with Walker is his leadership. He fired up that defense. He was a very vocal leader and I'm not sure, outside of Derwin, who will step into that role this year. On offense there were reports that DF was doing better at being a leader and I think we already saw Noonie play a big role in firing the offense up.
