Wharton vs Damien Lewis

[Captain Morgan]

Don't know the timeline on this, I thought Damien was injured.

l like the fight in Wharton, but Damien is a bad man.  Teammates quickly broke it up

Worked for me, that was a nice little scuffle

[Captain Morgan]

that punch to the chest on the second rep was stunning.

Wasn't much of a scuffle, just Lewis absolutely mauling Wharton in one on one drills and Wharton not much caring for it. Man, Wharton looks tiny compared to Lewis.

Well that is our best OL versus our tiniest DL.

$50M+ tiniest DL

I still don't know how he fits in this defensive scheme and I'm starting to get borderline panicked that the unofficial depth charts continue to list him as the starting NT because that is just not going to work.

Turk was the ultimate panic/overpay move once Milton chose NE

Essentially a much more expensive Shy Tuttle I fear

I think he's a good player, but I see him as a rotational pass rushing specialist in a 4-3 front. He's just too small to hold up against the run being an every down player and I don't know that he has the juice or the length to move outside to a 3-4 DE. We'll see. I'm definitely curious to see how Evero is going to use him but his track record utilizing tweener types isn't exactly comforting.

I know. He is a DE in our scheme. I don't get it either.

I don't get Evero's obsession with lighter, quicker nose tackles. It's hard enough to find a giant that can consistently hold up to double teams. That's already a bit of a unicorn. It's the biggest hurdle to fielding a good 3-4 DL IMO. But now you want to find a lighter, quicker guy who can do it? Yeah, okay... good luck with THAT. Now you're talking about the unicorn of all DL unicorns.

That boy got oweennneeed.  Lewis should claim him as his dependent on this year tax return.

Brother, you don't end up 32nd in rushing defense accidentally. It takes work.

I'd imagine BB is spending most of the time clogging the middle.  That's what we paid him for.  I know the depth chart says differently but come game day I'd bet BB is logging the most minutes at NT. I am concerned we overpaid for Wharton...
