Maybe we're trying to be like the Indians in the film, Major League. Or trying to tank to get a good QB in 2022.

This is what I'm wondering: since Hurney wanted to as he said "retool" last year rather than "rebuild," maybe they're committing to the rebuild now? Rather than last year being Year 1, it might have been Year 0?

Makes zero sense.  Only thing I can think of is Rhule is looking for a true nose tackle.  Obada definitely doesn't fit the bill and while Kerr was built for it, played more of 3-tech from what I remember.

Note to self: look for nose tackle in the draft.

Roy is more of a true NT. 3tech/5tech makes more sense imo.

Hve to go DT now. poo, maybe even double up. Should be fine since we are deep at all other positions... oh wait.

I like Tufele and Twyman a bunch. I’ll have to look back for a later round NT type. I’m sure there are some 6th round fat boys that can eat blocks.

I've been mocking ONE DT, but you have a point that we may need to double up now.

I like Twyman, but he's a pass rushing DT, I think only at 280 pounds?  McNeill would be steep in the 2nd, but if he's still there at #73, snag his butt.

In my mock draft, Ive had luck with getting Tedarrell Slaton late rounds. Look into him.

Backwards move unless we're planning on bringing him back cheaper. 

Actually, this move makes ZERO sense. We just created another hole in a place already shorted at talent. Kerr was one of the few bright spots last year. 

Only thing I can come up with is 1. We're trying to get younger on both lines. 2. Maybe Snow has them convinced he can make any serviceable DT work in his system. Kerr, Obada, and Roy did all overachieve (atleast my expectations anyway). 3. Kerr wanted more $$, we declined and he asked for his release.

Head scratcher regardless. Looking at the two Oline players we picked up today maybe Kerr's pff grade was too high for the Fitterer.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
