Going into Arizona with 3 DTs

We have to be signing someone soon and just throwing them in there to eat space. There's no way 3 DTs are going to make it through a full game unless we run a lot of 3-4.

Must of missed this one ....

Look back at the game books from previous seasons. Only 3 active DTs in every game I looked at.

I didn't look it up and frankly I'm just going to take this guys word for it. Honestly, it surprised me when I read it. I would have thought at least 4 active on game day.

...We finished 2-14 last year. I wouldn't invite any comparisons to last year and follow it up by saying "I don't see how it is a great concern"

and if we had what even appeared as a remotely functioning offense......that record would have been vastly different. They worked around the DTs hole last year decently.....sure it was exposed several times but they still put a decent unit on the field (they were just always on the field).

Well if we did it that way last year, that sure makes me feel optomistic.

Razzy does say seasons and not past season. I dont know how far back razzy looked. All we know, could of looked back to our 12-4 season and it was the same way. Quality over quantity on game day?

Edit: Not that we have any reason to believe we have quality DT right now.

I am excited to get some game experience in for the rooks, personally.

Yeah, that's been my rationale in the past. But we just cut most the second year players anyway in favor of a more established and marginally more talented players. So the experience counts for nought. If that's the path we're gonna go down, we might as well do it sooner rather than later.

we will play a 7 man rotation most of the time on gameday. 4 ends & 3 tackles with a couple of our ends able to slide down & play some tackle. that's a big part of why we let e. brown go, both he & norwood are undersized to play end in our system & neither can play tackle period. i find it somewhat interesting that selvie has play end & tackle along with some time at the nose

i'm actually not all that worried. we'll be using CJ, hardy, and selvie rotating in the middle and may go with 0 DTs on a good few downs. i read an article recently talking about how many teams are doing some crazy stuff on the dline like that and we've been doing that a good bit for a couple years anyway.

we'll be fine. running downs are the only issue that i am concerned with at the moment, but i just don't see zona running all that much or effectively.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
