Next Year's DTs

Recommended Posts

Assuming we don't find two starting DT's this season, who do you want from next season's FA crop?

I'll be dreaming about landing Ngata while I keep an eye on some of the others this season:

-Rubin (Browns) will get paid big $ as a 3-4 nose.

-Sione Pouha (Jets) is old but doesn't have a lot of wear because he spent 3 years between high school and college as a mormon missionary. Plus he'd give us two Siones on the line.

-Antonio Dixon (Eagles) would be an excellent get. He was undrafted and is coming to the end of a three year contract.

-Antonio Garay (Chargers) is another guy who's getting up there (31) but doesn't have a lot of wear since last year was his first year playing 16 games. Also his DC for that breakout year is now HBIC here so he might be a real possibility.

Too much suck to focus on the last two games. Need a hopeful distraction.

High hopes for Fua, McClain and even Balmer, but this season is going to involve a lot of learning on the job and my bet is just one of them is a viable starting DT by next season.

    • It’s simple. Win and everyone in here will say the culture is good. Dear lord the amount of time spent on these posts is hysterical. We’ve seen the end of season swoons where you can tell the team had given up with many of the same leaders that took us to playoff seasons. When your OL is decimated by injuries, it’s amazing how fast culture turns. When you get on a tear like 2015, everyone’s having fun. You need the right people regardless, but they have to win.
    • The difference is about how much player input is allowed and encouraged in the decision making process. Top down teams tend to dictate to players how everything is handled. Disagreements are handled by the coach and players are expected to do what they are told regardless of what they think or feel.  Players are perceived as commodities to be used until we find better. In player led teams player input is encouraged and valued. Players and especially leaders are expected to settle their own disagreements and be accountable to the team but mostly to each other. Players are family to be appreciated and supported in their growth. Is the reality of football the same in both? Yeah there are limited positions, football is a business and winning is the bottom line. Coaches get final say and run the program because that is their job. But in player led teams they feel valued, appreciated, part of a larger whole. Most people who have worked at multiple jobs know exactly what I am talking about. When players try to run the show and don't value  coach input that isn't a player led team, that is a circus which we surely are familiar with in our past.
