Any idea why short hasn't earned a starting spot next to star?

I mean from what i've seen he's been every bit as good as Edwards when allowed to play. You draft a guy in the second round i exspect him to start. He's proven to be one of the best pass rush Dt's in this class so why not let him play like one.Don't get me wrong Edwards hasn't done anything to lose his job and is playing beyond servicable. But the question remains when is it Short's time?

I think it depends on the rotation they want to use to match up. Our big thing is shutting down the run and Edwards and Cole give you more than Short in that department. He also benefits from staying fresh, so I'm fine with it.

 

I do think he'll be the starter next season with Star and Dwan will be relegated to the rotational guy.

I don't think the coaching staff is really worried about it right now. We have such a deep rotation of DT's, the one that technically gets the start is somewhat insignificant. I'd be interested to see how the defensive snap counts breakdown for our DT's, because they seem to be on a fairly even rotation outside of Star who gets the bulk.

Don't confuse starting with "stupid" no where did i say he should play every snap.

No, but you do realize that "starting" only means they put you out there for the first play of the game your unit is on the field, right? If he's getting a set percentage of snaps then it's definitely for a reason, most likely due to his current developmental progress as a player. NFL rookies take at least a whole year to adjust to the demands of pro level football. Just because he's doing good with so many snaps doesn't mean that he'd produce as efficiently playing more snaps.

for positions that have pretty heavy rotation...being designated as a "starter" doesn't mean a whole lot except that you are there for the first snap.

 

cole is just better on the first couple downs when teams decide to run (which is when they are more likely to do that).

 

it's really not that big of a deal.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
