Just my thoughts on D' Lewis:
I've never been a big fan of picking up free agents from teams that have an entire good unit s because you can't be sure the player is a stand-out. Guys like Kim Herring and Jamie Duncan who, while they were on defenses that were awesome, it was their supporting cast that made them not only look better, but actually be better, since other players were getting the focus or double teams, etc..
But when you put those guys on another team, they look average at best. It seems a lot safer to get a guy who stands out on a poor unit, because he'll only be that much better with other players to compliment him.
Point being, D' Lewis is starting to look better now because the players around him are now making things happen, which also opens doors for him. So whether he has atually got better or not, the play of the rest of the front 7 is a great thing for all of them.
