Yeah it's hard for me to keep up as well and it doesn't help that his guy is a scrub and I've never heard his name in my life. Ok not a scrub, but you know what I mean.

He played for our DC. That means a bit more than what fans of a team 2/3 the way across the country know about him.

I am certainly not mad about the signing as I don't know anything about him. I'm just pointing out that it's easy to be in the dark right now.

If this guy and Tuttle are our starting DEs, Bell is our staring S

On offense, Miles Sanders starts at RB, Bozeman starts at C, and Hurst starts at TE.

We have not added a WR or two, and Fitterer has already upgraded 6/22 positions.  Once he signs a WR and we draft a QB, in one year we will have upgraded 8/22 starting positions.   That is over 36% of the starters.  In addition, you put Burns and Chinn in position to be more effective.

5 sacks last year I'm not gonna complain about from an IDL. I know 3-4 is different but just sayin'. Plus he knows the D system and grew up a Panthers fan

Very serviceable player for good value. Here’s my rundown.

Williams: 4.5 sacks, 8 QB hits, 4 TFL, 37 total tackles, 15 games started

Derrick Brown: 1 sack, 12 QB hits, 5 TFL, 67 total tackles.

Brown was a stud last year and honestly Williams could easily take the next step in his career. Great value signing that will be a contributor at the minimum next year.

Seems out of place on this defense

Thought you were mistaken until I looked up his size. YGM is 6-5 265 …. Yikes perfect for 4-3 which we all know he has sucked. His size is to small for Edge in a 3-4 and to big for linebacker because he isn’t athletic enough.

Soooo  are we really rolling with Derrick Brown at NT or will we get another huge Hog Molly outside of McCall. 
 

Derrick Brown at NT is such a waste isn’t it ?  Nose tackle or 1 techniques purpose is to eat up blocks. I guess he could rotate to nose on obvious passing downs but yikes it seems like we need another big true nose.

It's been confirmed Derrick Brown will be playing one of the DE spots

To be fair, I don’t think any WR he signs from FA will be an upgrade over DJ Moore. A bit nit picky I know, but I’d say 7/22 is more accurate.

It’s been stated over and over that Tuttle was signed as a NT.  Team sources confirmed it.  He played a ton of snaps at NT for the Saints last year.

      I hate to burst anyones bubble but this guy played 188 total defensive snaps in three years but 802 special teams snaps. If we do kick the tires, it's probably gonna be for that latter part.

      I do believe that Evero gets canned before the end of the season and Capers takes over the D. I think the stage is set for Evero to fall on the sword for a 4-7 win season.  Not saying it would be a set up but I do think if that transpires, the seat under DC might start getting pretty warm, rightly or wrongly. That's my read on Tepper. I am not at all excited nor am I dreading anything. I just have extremely low expectations so I am just waiting to see what this revision of the roster looks like.  I FEEL like we are better on paper than last season's team but I wouldn't be remotely shocked if we were as bad or worse. Again, I do think this is the 2nd worst roster in franchise history overall. What will really make me happy is for some of the big questions to finally be answered(Bryce, Ikey, Horn, etc). I would like to see a real expansion of our core player pool(basically just D. Brown currently). I want to see a couple of hits in free agency and a couple in the draft. If we accomplish those things, I have faith that we are at least moving in the right direction after many, many years doing the opposite.
