The line is okay.
Brandon Graham is a first rounder this April. Martin is fine, perfectly capable. Roh is a very good pash rusher who is probably a liability against the run. Van Bergen is not so good. And on the whole the line is smallish.
But it's far and away the best "unit" on the defense. The line could be part of a very good defense; if we had adequate linebacking and defensive secondary play, this team could win 9 games.
I'm not saying zomg it's awesome, because it's not, because Roh is a pass rushing specialist who plays almost every down, Van Bergen is overmatched and the line is small. But the line is generally fine.
