Earlier in the year HighGreen Poster and some others stated he felt the Pitt's Defensive Line has to be better for DBs to cover so the QBs have less time to throw. I disagreed, later change my mind and agreed with them, then in a few more Games, Narduzzi stated it too, saying it needs improvement and Double Teaming Price helped burn Pitt DBs, dump offs to RBs burned LBs. Looks like HughGreen & the other Posters are even more right after Duke made the mistake of Double Teaming Price a sin the Article. Clearly, Pitt has to build up way bigger and better DLs for next year since they will lose Price. Chris Peak said the same things in his Podcasts on who will play there next year? Any thoughts how they will do that with current Roster would be appreciated or opinions as well.
Excerpt:

When defensive end Ejuan Price came to the sideline early in Pitt's 56-14 victory against Duke, he had a smile for assistant Tom Sims. “I don't think they're double-teaming me,” Price told Sims. “He said, ‘If they aren't sliding to you, you better make a play. You have to go eat.' ” Price responded by getting two sacks Saturday, his first since the Georgia Tech game Oct. 8, and three tackles for a loss. “It was the lack of double-teams, honestly,” he said. Price has 11 sacks this season, nearly matching his 111⁄2 total last season. He also has 19 TFLs.
