Having revamped their defensive line by acquiring key players such as Jermaine Johnson II and Solomon Thomas, Saleh hopes to implement an aggressive defense that builds on last year's 42 sacks. Jeffery Simmons, who recently signed a historic extension, is expected to lead the charge, along with new additions and draft pick Keldric Faulk.
