Strongside end?

Help me out here. 

Who do we have on the roster to play LDE, or strongside end?

We have several guys that can be on the right, or play on passing downs and rush the QB, but who is that strong side end that will be in on first down and running downs? That 280lb guy who is stout against the run and still can get some occasional pressure on the QB.

Is there anyone left in free agency?

What are our options in the draft?  Draft actually seems weak in that regard.

Looks like Weatherly and Obada will be On the strong side.  Burns Miller on weak side.  But they way this offseason is going who actually knows.

I totally forgot about Obada. I think he will be great with an extended role in the 4-3.

That would be awesome, but I think he's currently trending more toward being Ryan Delaire version 2.0. Shows early promise but then a lot of nothing afterward.

I said the Ryan Delaire thing 2 years ago when ppl were going overboard on Obada..

One of the good things about a new coaching staff is that it's a fresh look at your entire roster.  If Obada is actually good, he'll stick.  If not, he'll go.  The staff has no attachment to him.  Pretty sure that's why Colin Jones walked tbh.

Ryan Delaire take made sense 2yrs ago due to overhype, but Obada is the DL version of Shaq at this pt.

All he has done is play all over the line and done his job. He has been lined up inside, outside, standing, hand in the dirt, whatever and wherever.

Give him consistent snaps at a consistent position. He might not be All Pro, but the dude does make splash plays.

He got swallowed up in the run game.  I am not sure he can add 20 lbs and be as quick

His rookie year?? 

How many rookie DE come in to the league and our stout against the run.. Most Rookies aren't strong against the run.. They are facing grown men with no technical advantages.. Give it more then 1 year ...

And he was 250lb last year on a 6'5 frame..

Kalil Mack was smaller on a smaller frame

Now he is 269lb

Why is this impossible??

It won't be just adding muscle which most rookies do. Plus he was always rushing the passer with an outside speed rush which often takes you out of the play especially on a run play. We put so.much emphasis on rushing the passer we were fundamentally unsound in our gap control and run fits.

      Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.

      Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.

      You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
