Our depth at the position consists of a 6th rounder with about 2 season worth of experience, a 7th rounder who's played in 3 total NFL games and a rookie undrafted free agent. 

Idc if they are washed. They have NFL experience and are not still trying to learn and adjust to the NFL. We have the most inexperienced DT depth in the league. 

True, but the point I was trying to make was that we already have McCall and simply activating him is an easier move than trying to go out and sign someone. Let him do what you brought him in for

I don't think McCall is going to be the silver bullet that people believe he is. He might be an upgrade but I don't think it's likely he is the upgrade that we want.

Or you know, sign an actual DT who knows the NFL and can help stop the run. There are at least 5+ guys on their couches right now that would be immediate upgrades to our interior line.

But do they know the process and can they see it? Honestly though if I'm a NFL player and Matt Rhule comes calling its a big no for me dog.

Might not be, but like with Christensen last year, if the starters keep wowing us with their folly, I would like to see if McCall can hold his own. 
 

Especially if we don’t get a FA which most of us don’t expect will happen.

This staff does not how to build a NFL defense. You need at least one BIG body in the DT room. Your DE’s can’t be all speed guys (one speed, one power … Peppers and Rucker). Of course we know 5 DB’s is not a good base defense for the NFL.

So it all goes back to the collage coach and collage scheme. I know he tired to talk to Jimmy Johnson, but look at the players Johnson brought in …. He brought in some BIG boys and played some power football

Ditto, nobody is trying to come in here and play for these inexperienced bums. All you get is a black eye on your career and Rhule may add insult to injury and throw you under the bus like he did Cam last year.

Nickel bases are becoming more and more prevalent and successful in today's NFL: link

Quote

The Buffalo Bills were one of the first teams to fully commit to playing a nickel base defense. This season they are playing 90.3% of their defensive snaps with five defensive backs on the field. Taron Johnson is their designated nickel corner and has been a large part of the reason for this transition. He was selected out of Weber State in the 4th round in 2018. Since being drafted the Bills have continued to play more snaps as a nickel defense and continued to be one of the best in the NFL. The Bills even promoted Coach Jim Salgado to their nickel position coach. This was a groundbreaking promotion due to this specific role typically not having a designated position coach.

The effectiveness of base nickel defenses has continuously escalated throughout the years. The ability to mitigate mismatches against a pass-first league is a large part of the reason why NFL defenses have migrated towards this style.

Unless teams have a linebacker who has high-end coverage ability it makes it difficult to match up against 11 personnel when in a traditional base defense. The top 3 teams who use nickel the most are the Bills (90.3%), Cowboys (78.9%) and Colts (79.0%). Each of these teams have top defenses that rank 3rd, 9th and 10th in scoring this season, respectively.

Exactly players talk and we are considered toxic right now. It's why no respectable coordinators or coaches want anything to do with us.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
