He was not getting pushed around Like Roy or Hoskins. 

I make it a point to watch Hoskins when he is in and I consistently see him collapsing the pocket when he isn't getting doubled or blatantly held (75 on the Bills OL was getting away with murder). I also see him hustling to the play even when it's going away from him. Are you sure that you're not mistaking him for #91 (Larken) or #54 (Nixon)? Nixon has been incredibly underwhelming.

I think that we should just roll w/ last year's DT group but replace Jones + Nixon with Ioannidis + McCall.

I think its possible we go with 6 DTs, but with Hoskins being the swing DT/DE.

Entirely possible. He was lined up as the end on a couple of plays.

Plus, having guys like Luvu, Shaq, Smith, or even Chinn that can come down and rush the passer as well means that they might look for more beef in the middle.

You know, you are probably right.  I get them confused, and I may have last night.  Nixon is sorta the undersized gap shooting DT---I bet I was seeing him and blaming Hoskins.  Wonder how long I have done that.

Nixon is such a weird case to me.

When we drafted him there were some pundits calling it an absolute steal. He flashed at that joint practices last offseason as well, but the dude just seems to disappear on the field. I'm regularly seeing other players get better pushes against the same OL 😞

I can't tell if it's a processing issue or a physical issue either. Maybe he's the TMJ of the defense?

      Schrader / Jeremiah mock draft experiment

      By strato · Posted

      We have taken two TEs in three seasons I think, and Sanders may not pan out or it may have been a sophomore slump, but we took a guy last year that was coming on.  I am not in favor of TE in round one and really don’t consider it a high priority in any round.

      Draft intel from ESPN’s Jordan Reid

      Trevon Moehrig, Turk Wharton, Bobby Brown, Jaelen Phillips, Devin Lloyd, Nic Scourton Giving him 6 starters in 2 offseasons that cost boat loads of money or a 2nd round pick... Not exactly handing the man scraps. The point of the draft is to make the team better. You want to make this about Bryce. It isn't. It's about improving the team. And if anyone can look at our offense and go "we're good", they are lying to themselves. You give quarterbacks weapons. We SCREAMED for YEARS to give Cam some help. But now because we are trying to do it for Bryce, you all are saying we are coddling him because of his "deficiencies". It's a double-standard because you don't like the guy, clearly. But even if he does fail, guess what? The next guy has help too. Win-win.

      we have 2 solid/above average (however you want to phrase that) wr's, which is more than half the league at least.  We dont need to be blowing more first round capital just to placate Bryce and his limitations.   We have one absolute stud (probably top 10 wr) in tmac and we have a high floor guy with insane potential if he can stay healthy.  Yeah man we are in better shape than the bulk of the teams in the league.  If you need to add some speed or whatever, sure draft in the mid rounds or wait until tc cuts.  Its monumentally stupid to spend 3 straight firsts on a wr if thats the route they go.  ITs just more and more excuses for Bryce, thats where we are at now.    "How can bryce succeed without a big possession type wr (drafts 2 for him), how is bryce supposed to exceed without a speed guy......."   Its fuging never ending.  Give EE some goddamn help on defense for once
