What happened to our vaunted defensive lines?

These are the last two sentences of David Hale's main Georgia football story Tuesday:
Sophomore defensive end Justin Houston was named the SEC's defensive lineman of the week. Houston had four tackles, two for loss and a sack to become the first Bulldogs player to win the award since Charles Johnson in 2006.
Why not just stab me in a cheek bone?

Update from David Hale:
That's my bad -- should have said first DEFENSIVE END to win the award since Charles Johnson in 2006.
That changes things a bit. Now I'm just back to freaking out about our defensive end play, instead of the whole line.

Point is still well taken. We haven’t had a dominant defensive line in a long time. The secondary would look a whole lot better if we got a consistent pass rush from the line. That being said I am looking for them to have a break out this weekend.

Go Dawgs!

Let week 5 of being ready for them to break out commence.
