Opinions on Mario Addison and Ealy

UDFA (another one)...6'3 260 #. Due to one "breaking bad" DE who is probably gone and another one that likes to get high, he was forced into a bigger role. He has six sacks this year and some decent QB pressures for a role player. If he can bulk up a bit it will help. Along with Ealy (who has shown flashes).Hopefully he hits the weight room also and puts on some bulk. He may be the future for this team. If Frank can put the rolling papers away then it is even better. Maybe draft a DE in the middle rounds (leave it to DG to find that guy). Losing Hardy will sting, but it may all work out in the long run.

Yeah.  Mario is more of a speed rusher and not an every down DE...but an effective one.  Ealy is more of that balanced type who could continue to get more and more playing time as the next 2 years unfold.  

 

Since Hardy will be gone though, the big thing we're missing is that dual threat DE to an offense's run and passing attack before CJ exits.  

 

Next year with CJ, Ealy, Mario, and Wes we could be good but I wouldn't mind seeing more talent come in if there's a decent upgrade opportunity.  Build from the lines out.

    • I mentioned this in another thread but i'll restate it here. Keeping a wait and watch approach and passing on the 5th year option kinda makes sense like obliquely, but in practice neither the team or the player wants it. The player doesn't want to risk injury when he could have at least another year locked up, and the team doesn't want to risk the player blowing up in their fourth year and holding the team over the barrel. If you're the QB and you're playing that well you obviously test the free agent market, and you'd probably be bitter about it as well.  modern first round qb contracts are essentially 3 year deals with the option of an additional 2 to put downward pressure on contract extensions. You either pick up the 5th year, extend with a new contract, or move on.  just sitting tight on the fourth year isn't a practical choice for any of the parties. 
    • The point was Miles Sanders wasn't just a guy in Philly. He was at least as good as Chuba has been in Carolina. 
    • I have not been impressed with our pass blocking since at least 2022. Still remember watching Darnold live against the Seahawks when we were dominating them in the run game and we still allowed far too much pressure on him regardless. It has not gotten much better since. In fairness to this year's unit, they have been hit by injuries. Oftentimes, even a mediocre overall unit is better than a stacked one if the former stays healthy throughout the entire season. Constant shuffling only means a much greater likelihood someone will blow their assignment and that's all it takes for a sack or worse.
