Opinions: Is Delaire a NFL quality DE?

[Jmac]

Had high hopes for him, but has showed nothing thIs preseason and now game one. Would it not be a better choice to go heavy on Addison  and get Levon Edwards as ready as possible to play.

I know Addison isn't great against the run and Edwards is an unknown commodity, They cut Horton who played the run well, but lacked pass rushing skills. Delaire is stinking the joint up. Leave Delaire in and hope it clicks sooner then later or go another way?

He can't set the edge and it put an enormous burden on the young players in the secondary who struggled to make open field tackles.

[therealmjl]

Definitely not.

[LinvilleGorge]

Sadly, no.  I had a lot of hope for him too after his two sack debut, but unfortunately that looks to be a flash in the pan.  I'm fine with carrying Addison as a dedicated speed rusher, but we can't afford two of those guys on the roster.  Delaire is basically a poor man's Addison.  We need a backup DE who can set the edge against the run.

How many pairs of cowboy boots would it take to get Jared Allen back?

That pony isn't even very good at his one trick, either.

[TylerVagyler]

no

[uncfan888]

Hell no 

[LinvilleGorge]

He's basically Hilee Taylor all over again.  Shows a flash here and there, but at the end of the day he's just too small to hold up at the point of attack.  If he doesn't win with his speed immediately, he might as well not even be out there.  The OL is gonna swallow him up.

Far from it. We signed a guy from
Tampa hoping for intel and maybe a small contribution at best, caught lightning in a bottle once, and now he's done.

He hasn't shown very much positive progression since being here. 

[Billy Love]

Nope

[Toolbox]

Nope he really isn't.. we never really did address the DE issue since greg left the team.
