You're not very good at following conversation are you? The argument was being made that Cox would be the best bet to improve our pass rush and the counter argument was that, from a pure pass rush standpoint, this assumption would be false. I'm not saying that I agree, but that's what the discussion was about.

I love how you are trying to find ways to discredit everybody but Kuelchy..

Now the thing that Fletcher is giving credit for his pass rushing ability is false.

I already said I don't think we will pick him so move on, that doesn't mean that Cox is a better choice.

But what does that have to do with anything we're talking about a DT pass rushing ability compare to a DE rushing ability. 2 different position 2 different styles and expectation to get to the QB.

What we are talking about is an edge rusher who can get to the quarterback, Cox didn't do that. It doesn't matter what position he played, if he isn't a great pass rusher and by all accounts can't handle double teams and is suspect in the run game, then once again how does he upgrade what we have. We need an impact player who can rush the passer not someone who may be only marginally better than McClain.

I know what the f'n Conversation is about. Just because you and P55 are buddies doesn't mean you have to be ahole to me. P55 is comparing 2 different jobs and 2 different ways to improve pass rush. We can get Coples and add another outside pass rush which will be good but getting Cox at DT could help a pass rush up the middle. Both player could be good for our team.

But we are drafting him for his inside pass rush mostly the outside pass rush is a bonus.

No we aren't. You seem to think that is what we need or that we need that more than an edge rusher. Rivera said we need to rush the quarterback. He didn't say from where or how. I don't care either as long as we get to the quarterback. You have kept up the drone that he was such a great pass rusher and could do it from the 3 technique or 5 technique, etc. I just pointed out that he wasn't a great pass rusher based on the stats.

If we had great edge rushers then an inside push would be a bigger deal. If I had to count on Cox's 5 sacks or Ingram's 10 sacks, I know what I would prefer.What Rivera wants remains to be seen.

I was comparing 2 pass rushers that is all. Part of this conversation is about finding a versatile guy. Cox to me isn't versatile nor is a great pass rusher. Getting Ingram could help us with 2 problems since he can drop in zone and rush the passer. At a 4.79 40, he might be able to play some at linebacker and rush the edge.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
