Marquan Mccall needs more snaps.

I mean everytime I have seen the kid in the game he flashes. He makes players. He's our biggest defensive tackle and yet he almost looks fast when he's getting to the ball carrier or making a sack. I think this kid is at least better that Roy and should be coming in spelling Brown.

he should be...but there's rhule in the picture.

Phil Snow is working on a few schemes to drop him back into coverage this week.

[bandu]

yeah I really like this kids motor he always seems to be giving it 101..

[TheSpecialJuan]

absolutely 

[Smithers]

Snow is still trying to figure out where he fits - DE, DT, LB, S, CB or special teams gunner 

[Wundrbread33]

YES!

[Waldo]

I would like to see him in the middle and Brown beside him for some plays.

The highlight of the game for me was McCall's shirt riding up and seeing his big ole floppy belly hanging out.  Then like 2 plays later, him busting through for a TFL on the RB.

I'd love for him to bust out a Monty Mole celebration on his next big play (IYKYK).

Rhule says his toes aren't far enough apart to play DT. He wants him to lose 70 pounds and be our 3rd down pass rush specialist.

They ran that combo a few times and it looked like a major improvement. Roy is not effective, the Giants Center literally had him in a noogie on the last snap he had before getting carted off. Ioannidis is ok in pass rush but he kinda disappears in the run game

Part of the problem they want speed over beef.  We need this type of beef in the middle.  I was happy to see the big fellow on the field.

FWIW, here are the PFF scores on defense for the season (I had to google them one at a time lol):

Derrick Brown: 77.0

Bravvion Roy: 65.7

Matt Ioaniddis: 57.2

Marquan McCall: ? (not enough snaps to qualify)

Yetur Gross-Matos: 53.2

Brian Burns: 59.8

Marquis Haynes: 64.8

Henry Anderson: 70.1

Phil Hoskins: 28.4 

Shaq Thompson: 49.4

Frankie Luvu: 65.3

Damien Wilson: 46.5

Cory Littleton: 59.8

Xavier Woods: 76.7

Jeremy Chinn: 54.1

Myles Hartsfield: 77.3

CJ Henderson: 62.1

Jaycee Horn: 61.4

Donte Jackson: 64.4

Keith Taylor: 60.3

Based on PFF's grading scale below, looks like we have a bunch of back-up caliber players at best, aside from just Derrick Brown, Myles Hartsfield, Xavier Woods, and Henry Anderson who are all just serviceable starters.
