Wes Horton..what we know and what we don't

[Jmac]

Looks like he will be starting over Mario according to R.R. They think he is stouter against the run then Mario, but not the edge rusher that Addison is.Stats are 6'4 270 lbs and another UDFA.He had 2 sacks in 2013 with limited playing time.The team had at least 4 sacks every home game in 2013 and 7 so far in 2 games.Heavy rotation up coming with Horton in on running downs and Addison on passing downs this week.So what do you think about Wes...will that rotation get the job done? Not much choice actually....time to step up and do what needs to be done.

Well, that rotation got it done against the Lions who have a far better offense than Pittsburgh.

 

 

I'm going with yes.

Didn't Horton start against Detroit ??

 

We'll get to the QB with what ever package we install.

Mario had 29 snaps. Horton had 34.

 

 

Neither started, or both started.

 

 

That some inception stuff right there.

[RJK]

No reason to think they can't against an inferior steelers team. They do run the ball well tho

[PanthersAlv]

I think we'll be fine with whoever we have. That rotation seems to be productive. And the more playing time (hopefully) the better they players will become.

[Ruff]

Just like our RBs and DTs, whoever gets the official "start" doesn't really matter. There will be tons of churn from the guys, with really close snap counts between the group.

We will find out Sunday night! We need CJ to step up big.

I think CJ will have a 2+ sack game Sunday night. Pittburghs Oline is terrible in pass protection.

[Moose Hoover]

We have great individual players...but I'm starting to think alot of our defensive success is the scheme. Whomever we plug and play will work as long as they play fundamental.

[lightsout]

Bell is a solid RB. We need to be quick and decisive on defense. Attack the ball carrier and fill the gaps quickly. Kid has great vision. If we give him an opening, he will see it and hit it.  That's my only worry for this game.

I hope Blackburn sees more action than Klein. Klein has been awful against the run.

[O-Ther]

Luke will prolly shadow him more than the TE Miller. Harper should do ok covering Miller. Even tho Harper is slower than ideal, Miller was never that quick, and playing his 10th year hasn't made him quicker, either.

 

Looking forward to seeing how Cason, White, and Benwikere handle Antonio Brown, Wheaton, and Lance Moore. Hope their coverage is good so the D-Line can get some coverage sacks.

[Chaos]

We also have Ealy to plug in on certain plays, I'm excited to see our platoon rotation on the D Line, keep running in the fresh bodies.  Colin Cole was awesome last game, although I know you're talking about DE.

That's good poo right there folks, minus #76
