Is Fox playing DE? I thought he was DT, I would love to get Reed. Just thought that’s why we sign him was for DT

He can play both.  He'll play a lot more DE though, assuming we're running 4-man fronts.  And he'll play some DT on passing downs.

If you want a solid comparison, do you remember Tyler Brayton?  Think him.  That is his prototype and that is the role he'll play.  A strong-nosed DE who is an effective pass rusher, especially when you slide him inside.  

Brayton was so underrated during his time here.  Very good player in 2008 and 2009 at what we asked him to do.

MHS Predicts: 

 

So here is how this baby is going down: MARK MY WORDS!

1. Lawrence QB Jags

2. Wilson, QB Jets

3. Jones, QB, 49ers

4. Pitts, TE, Falcons (don't call me crazy--he would keep Ryan young for another year or two)

5. Panthers, Fields, QB (trade)

6. Broncos, Lance, QB (trade)

7.  Lions Chase, WR

8.  Bengals Sewell, OT

9. WFT, Parsons, LB (trade)

    • He is "Keep Pounding." https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45498715/nfl-carolina-panthers-chuba-hubbard-olympics-flag-football-track
    • This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one. 
    • I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question.
