We are set at DT for next season.

After McClain and Fua went down and Shirley and Kearse started for us, our run D improved from 30th to 21st in just 4 games allowing an average of 95 rushing yards per game. Also, Shirley has a sack in every game he started. Don't be surprise if Fua is cut next season. Shirley and Edwards should be our starting DTs next seaso

no way Fua gets cut a season after spending a draft pick on him... especially the way Rivera kept making remarks about how he was improving

don't expect any draft picks to be spent on DT... we're loaded with players at the position at the moment, and they're all going to fight for a spot in TC next year

makes no sense to me how people on this forum keep harping that we need to draft a DT again next year when they haven't been patient with the ones we drafted this year. what if we hadn't given players like CJ and James Anderson the time to grow into their positions?

Fua looks like he lacks strength at the point of attack. There's a reason our d improved when he went down.In all honesty, fua's rookie season looked just as bad as pickles. I'm not saying cut him but, I'd be open to spending a 2 on the defensive tackle position.

He at least deserves an actual offseason of professional workouts before they give up on him. A DT straight out of college in a NORMAL year usually won't be strong enough, but a DT straight out of college with no offseason doesn't help.

I question most people's ability to judge positions outside of skill positions, and even those are skewed often..

I won't be surprised if DT is left alone.. either they bring in a stud DT or they don't bring in anyone, pretty simple.

with how we have been abused this year....I don't expect DT, LB, or even S to be left alone. Not saying we see new starters....but we have major issues on all levels.

like this.. and no offense.. but rookie DTs get pushed off the point of attack, it says nothing about their strength, but their technique.. Rookies have this problem A LOT. Trying to say "we should pick up a 2nd rounder" isn't going to change a damn thing..

how many times should that be repeated so someone catches on?

No way we are set at DT. We will be bringing in at least one.

If so, I'd wager it won't be through the draft, and any FA sign would most likely be a name that won't blow anyone away. Only big name would probably have to involve a trade.

Personally I think we stand with what we have if Edwards is fully ready to go....

i don't think we are "set" or even settled @ DT.

i think/hope we'll bring in at least one more player either in the draft or via FA (preferably via FA).

i feel good about the competition we'll have at DT next year and i'm pretty certain we'll have at least a very solid rotation there.

it's not near the worry it once was for me.

totally agreed....

however, drafting a DT is going to raise the same concerns you have now.. which is my point, we either bring in a game changer or more depth.. as mentioned already, we have good depth.

I mean, at some point it's tremendously ignorant to keep thinking you'll get a game changing DT in the draft..

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.

      If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
