Anybody else concerned about the DT situation?  (It is slow, so I thought I would throw out a topic we have not discussed in a while)

  • We have Brown--not playing pro bowl level ball, but year 3 is good to a lot of young DTs.  He is a 320 lb run stuffer.
  • We have Ioannidis---or do we?  Washington fans say he is injured a lot.  Pass rusher, not a run stuffer.
  • We have Nixon--and he was pretty good in very limited action last year.
  • We have Roy---he sucked.
  • We have Hoskins---he sucked in limited action.

I am hoping we can sign or find another run stuffer, but I would like to hear what Huddlers know about the DT situation.

Ioannidis is pretty good so I’m happy with him as a starter. Nixon has looked like he has potential so if a starter gets injured he might could step up. Brown hasn’t lived up to expectations but is young enough to turn it around. Roy Sucks but he went to baylor so Rhule is loyal to him. I would love to sign/draft a back up but I think we are set at DT. Honestly I’m more worried about DE. Burns and YGM look to be the starters. YGM is young and unproven. We also have Haynes who’s played well in limited action but has been a career backup. We need a good DE in my opinion.

Fit said he felt good about the dline (and oline) and the work there was done but honestly, i don’t think it’s going to turn out well

don’t get me wrong I like the moves but i feel we still need some playmakers…fat ass bust brown really set it back

i expect more gash rushing and stepping up from opposing qbs this year per usual

Derrick Brown had a sophomore slump.  I think he’ll bounce back next year, he impressed me a lot his rookie season with his pass rush ability (not what he was known for).  Took a big step back this year though.  Wouldn’t mind signing Star Lotulelei if it’s cheap.  He’s not as good as he once was, but he’s better than a lot of guys on the roster

      An analysis of Brooks from The Fantasy Footballers provides possible insight as to why he's worth the price paid

      By TD alt · Posted

      Sometimes you get very valuable information from fantasy football sites. I found an analysis that you may want to read from The Fantasy Footballers. Perhaps you'll gain an insight as to why we moved up and got him. As always, here are a few snippets: "As expected, he dominated in the 2023 season. He averaged an impressive 2.03 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play, which ranks in the 86th percentile among all junior seasons since 2013." "Naturally, after initially playing behind two NFL-caliber running backs, Brooks’ career numbers do not jump off the page. However, his 2023 campaign gave us a glimpse of just how massive his upside could be at the next level. In fact, Brooks is one of only TWO running backs in this class to exceed 2.00 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play within their first three seasons in college."  "If you watch Jonathon Brooks’ film, you will find multiple plays in which he created yardage with his quick feet and lateral agility. He is elusive in open spaces and has an impressive ability to stack multiple cuts to avoid contact. Combined with his impressive burst and acceleration, Brooks can be a matchup nightmare in the second and third levels of the defense." "While Brooks is not the most physical running back, he does have a knack for absorbing contact and bouncing off defenders. You see this time and time again in his film." "He showcased a willingness to initiate contact with the pass rusher, the strength to maintain blocks, and the quickness to adjust to the defender’s moves. In addition, per PFF, Brooks was a top-three running back in the 2024 class in pass-blocking grade last season. He was also one of only two running backs in the class to average a 0% pass block pressure rate, highlighting just how effective he was as a blocker." "In short, Brooks has tremendous upside as a prospect. Even with his ACL injury, I would still be comfortable drafting him in the early second round of rookie drafts. In fact, I would not be shocked if he finished his career as the most productive running back in this class. However, we just need to temper our expectations for his rookie year as he slowly ramps up to full health." Marvin Elequin provides more here (including video clips): https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/dynasty/2024-rookie-profile-rb-jonathon-brooks-fantasy-football/   Basically, Brooks has the potential to be a beast, and was well worth the 46th pick (and most mocks had him going mid second round anyway). He's not JAG. Someone had to make the move and take him, and we were the ones to do it. He's elusive, has good speed and acceleration, exceptional contact balance, and is an outstanding blocker. Just like any nice RB transitioning to the league, he will need to get used to taking what the defense gives him, while also showing discriminating patience, but he has demonstrated some ability on that front in college. Brooks' only real knock is the ACL. But ACLs aren't career ending anymore, or even skill ending as evidenced by Dalvin Cook, Todd Gurley and others. We'll just need to temper our expectations during his rookie campaign while he gets back to form. Once he does, we'll finally have the talented three-down back that has eluded us since Stew retired.

      2024 Who would you have picked

      By R0CKnR0LLA · Posted

      2.43 : Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon 2.52 : Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas 3.65 : Junior Colson, LB, Michigan 3.79 : Blake Corum, RB, Michigan 4.101 : Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas 😎 5.141 : Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, C, Georgia 5.142 : Austin Booker, Edge, Kansas 5.155 : Christian Jones, OT, Texas Note, I traded down from 33 (took the Arizona/Atlanta trade up to 35 - might have actually been able to net an even better deal but whatever, I'll go with this). Took the Rams trade but stayed put at 52 and at the top of the 3rd.
