McCall Cut!

Looking at the current Denver depth chart they don't have a DT listed above 320lbs.  Their starter is right at 305lbs.  Maybe it really isn't a need in this defense to have a wide body there.  I saw a few 2-5-2-2 looks on the field during the game.  We have Burns and YGM who have played with their hand in the dirt before.  You squeeze the big guys (Tuttle/Brown/Williams) in closer on the line and it closes up the middle allowing Frankie and Shaq a little space to move around.  You still have Burns to rush, YGM/DJJ to hold an edge and Chinn as the 5th LB.  It actually operates more like a 4-3 than the traditional 3-4.

Maybe I'm wrong.... just thinking out loud here.

 

Deshawn was their NT in 2020 and 2021 and he is 295.

I was shocked when I heard the news.  I saw the presser on YouTube and Reich was saying he just wasn't a good fit for us.  Said it several times.  

The only thing I can think of as to why him and now is to give him an opportunity with another team.

Evero runs 5-1/Penny Fronts. Since the front 3 are flanked by a consistent EDGE and a counterpart rotation, it allows for multiple disguises the more versatile the edge and NB are. Chinn is going to be operating in box near Shaq and Luvu will be moving around off and on ball. 

It’s pretty cool with our personnel but it’s not a plain 3-4 system by any means. He’s not a mirror of Fangio either. Evero has his own wrinkles with gap assignments. I’m in the boat of not that worried here.

Solid example (against us):

Tuttle and Deshawn also can play NT along with Raequan and Thurman. I dont get how some reporters say we have no one. Deshawn started for the Broncos for 2 years at NT ffs.

Reich isn’t wrong, both Raequan Williams and Nick Thurman have looked better than McCall. Hell, I can even point to specific plays that LaBryan Ray and Taylor Stallworth have made. I can’t do the same for McCall.

Fans should be excited about this because it shows that there is a new mantra. It’s not about what you have done, it’s about what you are doing.

Raequan took the starting job going before the Giants game. They only cut McCall early to give him the chance to get on another team.

Get ready for more of that 2-4-5 defense that looked so good against the giants last week.

An NT in a 3-4 has to hold his own against 2 blockers and clog the middle. Collapsing the pocket is desirable but foremost he has to stop the run.  If he doesn't fit our system then he clearly didn't do that. So why keep him around? The bigger question is why the article and hype only to cut him a week or so later. Must be keeping personnel issues close to the vest.

They have not put any effort in to learning about the gap and a half scheme that Evero comes from and has implemented.

It's not the traditional 3-4.  The coaches say it, the info out their on gsp and a half explains it thoroughly, and the rosters that implement it reflect it.

The media is lazy and doesn't care to educate themselves

This smells like a personal issue to me, very weird to cut your starting NT right now.

I've learned my lesson trusting in Mike Kaye. He really doesn't even try to understand what he's reporting on.
