Milton Williams

[shaq]

 

In my eyes Milton Williams should be our #1 option going into free agency. We’re coming off the worst defensive season in NFL history, FYI to the casuals we’re not signing Tee Higgins. We allowed 3057 yards rushing last season, we all witnessed Shy Tuttle getting bullied game after game. Yes, Derrick Brown is coming back next season, but we do not have another even JAG level DT. In my eyes it is a top 3 need, the ability to pair Derrick Brown with a true 3 tech would completely alter the makeup of this defense. It’s rare to find a gem like Milton hit the open market, if it wasn’t for the eagles being so talented on the DLINE and having to retain multiple starters, this type of guy would never in any other circumstance hit the open market.

Key Facts:

-Only 25 years old

-12.8% pass rush win rate(6th highest for a DT in 2024)

-Natural fit next to Derrick Brown

-Freak of freaks athlete

 

What do you say fellow huddlers?

I’m cool with it. 
 

This team is just so bad culturally and talent wise. Even if they overpay for FAs now it won’t really bite us because we need so many more good drafts to get back to something competitive. 
 

Signing a star D-lineman would help take some pressure off of the 1st pick to be defense or it would help make a drafted defender more effective.

Well said man, signing a stud DT would allow us to take true BPA across the draft. Plus I’m tired of paying old players on a rebuilding team, sign young proven guys. Add up all the dead weight contracts we have signed over the past few years, Shy Tuttle, Hayden Hurst, Von Bell, Ian Thomas etc and we could have signed atleast a few really solid guys, we gotta stop beating bin hunting these overpriced vets.

Let’s talk about it, what’s your reasoning?

[CPF4LIFE]

I'm with it, and please for the love of God move back to a 4-3 where he is good at.

Why can’t Derrick Brown play DT? 

[Adb6368]

At this point I’ve heard this name so many times I’m almost certain that it won’t happen

Not sure what you mean? Every defensive personnel lineup requires at least two DTS not even counting depth or additional DTS for different packages.

I think the 3/4 phrasing (position names) creates confusion.  DT is the NT and DEs are 300 lb ers who cover the 3T-5T spots.  Of course, the OLBs are the edge players.  Sometimes when we chat about, people call the 3-4 DEs DTs and it gets confusing.  Not to be condescending, but it used to trip me up at times.

I wonder what the drop off is to the fella hitting FA from the Cowboys if Milton is out of our price range

the Cowboys are going to tag Odighizuwa

[CmC2k]

Give me Milton to play DE opposite of Brown and sign Bobby Brown III from the Rams to play NT.
