If the New England Patriots are to return to their playoff winning ways, they need solid performance from their defense, and it starts on the defensive line. Joining host Mike D’Abate is Steve Balestrieri of PatsFans.com. The duo discuss whether defensive lineman Christian Barmore is this season’s defensive ‘X-factor,’ the ability of Davon Godchaux to be the answer in the middle of the d-line, and which linemen enter training camp on the Pats’ hot seat.
