I'm a big fan of UDFAs making good.  I think this was a good signing and am looking forward to Fox introducing himself to Tom Brady.

I think he might actually be depth with YGM starting over him which is a great problem to have!

I agree.  He's a rotational player, but last year's production of 6 sacks... on rotation...hoorah.

He was also playing next a one of a kind freak in Donald and on a pretty stacked line.

Agreed, Donald was double teamed a lot. Believe it or not Brown was double teamed a lot as well for us. Now throw in Burns, Reddick, YGM, and Jones and our line should be pretty good on paper. Not at all saying Brown is on Donald’s level, but the best thing they can do to help other players on the line is draw a double and still provide pressure. Brown did this a good amount of time as a rookie. Fox should find himself in another great situation.

Agreed. I love having a deep DL rotation. It seems like our most successful defenses were when we had depth on the DL.

Should really help with Horn’s development his rookie year. A good defensive line is a CB’s best friend right?

I don't think that's been determined yet but either scenario seems plausible.

Definitely hasn’t. Just my thoughts on it.

[Ja Rhule]

I see him getting some good pressures from DE spot

[Michael G]

I think He'll be a big piece of the puzzle- I think he can be what Mario Addison was for us when he was coming off the bench as just part of the rotation (2014ish).
