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

Seems out of place on this defense

Just bench him. Still need reserves

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.

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.

I didn't realize just how literally he meant that

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.
