What kind do you think we will go for?getting players to fit into ron meeks scheme

Do we go NT..for insurance because of Kemos injury?

Do we go 3tech because theres not a lot behind lewis thats proven?

I also wonder if we will keep lewis.He will be 32.But cheap to keep and we know how fox likes vets.I also would not count Derek Landi out yet.

Our current DT

Nick Hayden-6-4 294

Corvey Irvin-6-3-302

Hollis Thomas-6-0-340

Derek Landi-6-2-290

D.lewis-6-2-301

Louis leonard-6-4-325

Tank Tyler-6-2-306

Kemo-6-5-345

We have kemo because we're stuck with him. I don't think they'll take a NT as long as meeks is here. I don't even seen why we should keep a NT coming off an injury in meeks system. It's an uncapped year we can absorb the penalty.

If the NT actually plays like a NT I think it we be ok. Kemo doesn't get pushed back but he doesn't really get a lot of penetration either. A good NT can disrupt the running game instead of just redirect it. I think i remember him forcing a fumble in the backfield and that's it.

I remember they signed him because of a game they saw with him owning lecharles bentley as a raven. I watched those highlights and he looks like a different person.

Thomas and Kemo dont fit in with Meeks scheme but this is more Fox's defense so he will keep the best players. Irvin needs more work but Im sure they dont want to put him on the practice squad and risk losing him. I think we will not bring anyone new in this year and wait for some of the vets to either retire or show they cant play anymore. Then we will bring in 3 technique DT's or any that can get pressure during pass situations

I don't see us spending a draft pick on a DT unless they're the best pick available. We used three draft picks trading for some DTs this season and I don't see us carrying more than 5 on the roster.

Out of those on that list, I see us cutting Thomas, Hayden, and maybe Kemo.

we need a good rotation, we usually keep 5dt/4de or vice versa. As long we play foxball we need to invest in the D-line. Only then can we start winning some games. We're giving up way too much on the ground.

We have enough rotation/developmental type DTs that unless you can get a significant upgrade it'd just be a waste of a pick. Terrance Cody or Dan Williams in the 2nd or Lamarr Houston in the 3rd. Those are the only guys I'd really like to see us draft.

Just the guys you've actually heard of would make you happy

    • Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.
    • During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.    
    • It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
