Jets think they can have the best defensive line in the NFL

Rex Ryan is gone, but there’s still an abundance of confidence on the Jets’ defense.
In fact, multiple players on the Jets’ defensive line believe they can be the best unit in the NFL in 2015.
“Definitely the talent is there for us to be the best,” Jets defensive tackle Kevin Vickerson told NJ.com. “But work ethic and the work we put in this time of year, that’s when it’s all going to come together. And that’s when we’ll really find out what we’ve got.”
Jets defensive tackle Damon Harrison agreed with Vickerson’s assessment.
“Yeah, I can’t argue with that,” he said. “I’ve been here three years. I think this will probably be the best defensive line we’ve had as a unit overall, from top to bottom. We lost some guys this offseason, but we gained some pretty good guys at the same time.”
The big name the Jets’ defensive line added was Leonard Williams, the rookie from USC who is regarded by many as the most talented player in this year’s draft class. Add him to a line that already had Muhammad Wilkerson and Sheldon Richardson, and new coach Todd Bowles just might have the best defensive line in the league in his first season with the Jets.
---------
Not if the Rams defensive line has something to say about that.
----------
I don’t know that it can compete with a line comprised of Wake, Vernon and Suh.
---------
Although it’s very close between the Jets, Bills and Rams, I’d take Hughes, K.Williams, Dareus and M. Williams over the Jets.
---------
I would add the Dolphins to that list and include that you could make an argument for any of the 4 to have the best. AFCE is going to be a rough division this year with 3 very good defenses.
---------
The Bills have the best D line in football.
---------
Jets will have the Best Defensive unit in the NFL hands down. You put that secondary they got now with that D-Line, and it’s going to be the kind of defense that takes QB’s out. Calvin Pryor is going to lay the wood on opposing quarterbacks this year. BOOK IT!
---------
Robert Quinn is one of the NFL’s top pass-rushers, Aaron Donald might be the best DT in the league next year, Michael Brockers is a very good stuffer, Chris Long would be a major bonus if he rebounds, and there is plenty of depth. Yeah, that COULD be the NFL’s top line, as could the Jets’s, as could one or two others.
