We have to be getting a new NT right?

Why doesn't Evero like the prototypical 3-4 NT?   You know, the 330+ pounder in the mold of a Sumo wrestler.

probably because they are not as scheme diverse. you have to take them out on passing downs. His scheme seems to favor being in base alot and not alo t of blitzing.

I feel like his scheme works best vs. pass happy offenses, but we are back to heavy running and I just don’t see his scheme working as well going forward. Just look at the Broncos in the playoffs, they could do nothing against the run.

Derek Brown, Mason Grahm/Deone Walker, Ashaun Robinson

Solved.

 

I'm still on team trade back to late teens and pick up an additional 2nd round pick.  I'll take Jalon Walker as an Edge along with Dani-Dennis Sutton.

Dani Dennis Sutton returning for his senior year.

Fantastic thread, Thank You. Unfortunately Tuttle was a bust this season and not having Derrick Brown hurt. Asking a rookie to play starting NT in the NFL is not real successful. Milton Williams from the Eagles would be a nice option. 

If we sign Milton Williams I would literally poo my pants with excitement, my dream FA signing.

It's not particularly popular among 3=4 defenses now. Look around the top defenses depth charts. The 3-4 comprises most of the top defenses and most use smallish NT. The eagles don't even use Jordan Davis in the middle. The Chargers NT is 5'11 310.

Odd but that's the trend

Free Agents NTs: I'm hoping we get DJ Jones and bring him home.

We have to be getting one of these guys right? RIGHT? I Know they "claim" EJ "likes" undersized NTs for his scheme but I'm more apt to believe that Tuttle was just the best they could get with all the dead money and EJ was just saying he could scheme with an undersized NT not that he prefers it. In what world would you "prefer" your 3-4 to not have a traditional NT? Makes no sense to me but I feel it is honestly the biggest weakness on the team, moreso than Edge or #1 WR but getting one of these NT's in FA fixes it.

For reference this is Shy Tuttle PFF: image.thumb.png.3eb61b8668ad2599a1218535722b2124.png

DJ Jones PFF:

Similar stats but twice the run defender at the same position. Would help a lot.

DJ Jones makes $10M AAV Shy Tuttle... $9.4M AAV, he has GOT to go. Cutting Tuttle would save $6.5M on the cap, then go pay what you have to to a real NT so we can stop the run next year.

I’d be happy with Jones or Hill. Either of those guys would pair nicely with Brown and Robinson. Javon Hargrove could be another option, as he’s sure to be a cap casualty after a brief stint with the 49ers.

Which teams currently run a 3-4 with an undersized NT and does it well?

All the top defenses are 3-4 and use undersize NT. I'm not saying all but look at defenses ranked then look at depth charts.

Chargers for 1

Damn.... I guess I'm banging the table for Ashton Gillotte as my mid-round EDGE draft crush. 

As a Penn State fan I could not be happier, Dani is a DAWG. Will be a first rounder next year. If you like Dani as a prospect I think you would love Jared Ivey, he is a big 6 ft 6 285 DE, great run defender and has a true bull rush aspect to his game. Needs to add some tools to his pass rush belt but I think he’s gonna play in the league for a while.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
