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

      Noah Fant? "Perfect fix?" More like imperfect fix.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      I've liked him since his rookie year as a prospect, but when he's been asked to play in a large capacity, he has simply not done well.   He does not really add anything, rather muddies up the room.  Fant is TERRIBLE as a blocker, a pure receiving TE.   Let's just put Tremble aside since he's PUP (although I still like him as a TE2, but yeah he's not our future starter)... Sanders has already shown better receiving skills than a Fant and has a nice ceiling.  Not to mention, he's got in-line run blocking skills.  I really want to see what he's capable of this year.  Also has a year+ experience now in Canales' offense, not to mention legit chemistry with Bryce. And after Sanders, I also imagine our staff is waiting to see how Mitchell Evans looks in camp as he's got the in-line blocking skills.  If he looks fully capable of filling in behind Sanders, then I don't see a need.  Overall, keep an eye out on early August moves.  They are usually soft indicators of how staff's view their rookie late rounders and roster overall.  This is a wait and see what the market presents and how they think their unit looks in camp.

      Every team has different needs of the backup QB.   On some teams a young hopeful makes sense and on others an old worn out dude makes sense.  We are a little more in the in-between IMO where you probably would prefer a Fields, Pickett, Howell type IMO.   So a young disappoint that you there is still some hail mary hope in.....given BY essentially was benched both seasons for performance (I know that's not the official line going into Seattle but I think most would agree he got a break and should of been benched later that year).  I know we want Bryce to be the week 17 guy all season this upcoming year.  But it's still in the reasonable thought process that the other dude could show back up.

      I wouldn't mind it if they bring him in cheap for competition. I would imagine he would vie for the 3rd TE spot with the rookie.
