Well after CJ, Addison, Pep, I can't name one I wouldn't do that for

You would cut Hall?

 

i sure as hell wouldnt. He has a ton of potential. Might not do much this year but i feel a CJ type of projection for him as far as getting better and better each year

He's too small to play outside 4-3 DE, yeah?  I don't think I've really watched him since he was at Louisville.  I def wouldn't cut anybody on defense for him, but I would give him a shot since Delaire was cut.  Why not?

What DE on our roster would you cut to make room for him?  I can't name one.

Maybe Horton, as he always seems to survive waivers in the need he needs to return, 6'3 250 ish as a rotational speed rusher, I'd like to see how he looks, or even cut one of our 20 receivers on this camp roster, it doesn't necessarily have to be a DE to get into camp as far as making room. 

Peppers, Addison, Johnson, Hall are the locks essentially, and we've got a 5th spot up for grabs potentially.

Wes Horton

I dunno.  Horton has been in 18 games in the past two years, and has 18 tackles with 3.5 sacks and a pass defensed in a reserve role.  Smith has started in 29 games the past two years and has 23 tackles and 4 sacks.  Horton is only 27, and is bigger than Smith too.

If Smith hadn't been a first round pick, he probably would have been cut last year.  Horton is our worst DE, but I'm not sold that Smith would be any improvement over him at all, and may not be as good in rotation.

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
