When Brock Weathers III switched positions from linebacker to defensive end he decided to not only make the change a positional one, but also that a change needed to happen in the locker room. He looked over the tape from the previous season and determined that the defensive line as a unit had gotten kind of soft and that it needed to be better. When he arrived to the facilities in San Antonio for the first offseason workout, he got the guys on the defensive line together, most of them new to the team, and decided to create a rivalry of sorts. Basically what it boiled down to was they needed to feast in the backfield and decided that the unit would shoot for a prize. Each member would be required to put in a small, but decent amount to the pot and at the end of the season whoever got the most combined sacks and tackles for a loss would win. At first this seemed trivial, but with just over half the season done it looks like it has worked. Last season no defensive lineman on for San Antonio had more than 5 sacks, while this already three of the starting four already have at least that many with the fourth only one behind.
