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?

      Jack Roslovic: Only 2 other UFA, right-handed centers age 28 or under had more points (39) than him- Sam Bennett (51) and Pius Suter (46). There were 4 other centers age 33 and older who scored more: Gireaux (37), Marchand (37), Tavares (34), Granlund (33).  Unless the Canes go old, if they let Jack walk, they won't get a center who scored more.  Thoughts?

      It's important to differentiate criticism and hate. I can't speak for that individual you quoted. But most people who have been critical of the Tepper's have been so because both of them have made it a point to put themselves front and center and in the middle of team operations and we have been largely horrific more often than not as a result. If people are making derogatory remarks about her that should be met with an appropriate response but if people are being defensive just because she's being criticized all I can say is people should get used to it. Both her and David would have been getting absolutely skewered by the media and the fans if this were a big market franchise. The Lakers are finally being sold off after years and years of public criticism of Jeannie Buss and even though I'm the furthest you could go from being a Lakers fan just about anyone you could meet who is familiar with the NBA would say the criticism was certainly valid.
