There are several questions that need to be answered on the defensive side of the ball. The starting front seven is set. Frank Zombo and Dee Ford need to show that they have the ability to get after the quarterback while Tamba Hali and Justin Houston are out.

Josh Mauga may not play after sitting out with a groin injury which could allow Ramik Wilson to step in as a starter and make a case for him to be starting when Mauga comes back.

I do think that Wilson will be the starter next to DJ for the game but the ILB that most fans will be watching closely will be Justin March. After having a in 2015, March had to have micro-fracture surgery to fix a knee injury he suffered last year.

A young player like March, needs all of the repetitions he can get. Missing the entire year last year hurts but the time he was able to spend in position meetings and with players like DJ, Mauga, Hali and Houston was invaluable as he was recovering.

Next: Justin Time?
