TransientTexan Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 1 hour ago, Shanedorf said: Eagles like to sub their DL early and often, its a key part of their strategy to keep them fresh - and here's their snap counts from week 2. Using a 6 man rotation That's kinda where I'd see GB going IF they are gonna be consistent with their comments and IF they believe they have the horses to do it Eagles Defensive line • 46 snaps: Fletcher Cox • 39 snaps: Brandon Graham • 36 snaps: Haloti Ngata • 35 snaps: Derek Barnett • 25 snaps: Chris Long • 24 snaps: Michael Bennett • 23 snaps: Destiny Vaeao In the first two games: Clark played 59, 61 snaps Wilk played 48, 55 snaps Daniels 38, 51 snaps I think the goal is for these DL guys to be in the high 30's- low 40's from a stamina point of view we're kind of comparing apples and oranges. Most of the PHI guys you list are edge guys as opposed to DL. So when Pettine/Montgomery are making those statements, are they meaning DL, or DL+edge. When you bring edge into the equation, PHI does have probably have more quality horses, which both spreads the load on their edge players and spells the interior DL. Snaps per game (using a correction factor on PHI's since they've faced 128 plays vs. 143) CMIII= 58 edge-------------Cox= 62 DL Clark= 54.5 DL-------------Graham= 47.5 edge Wilk= 46 DL----------------Barnett= 41.5 edge Perry= 40 edge-------------Bennett= 38.5 edge Daniels= 39 DL-------------Long= 35.5 edge Gibert= 35 edge------------Ngata= 29.5 DL Lowry= 16.5 DL-------------Vaeao= 28 DL Fackrell= 8.5 edge---------Hector= 5 DL Adams= 4 DL---------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packerraymond Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Nick Bosa to miss extended time with what I imagine is hernia surgery. Nothing long term threatening so it shouldn't stop us from taking him after the Saints go 4-12. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaRisMa Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Montez Sweat, EDGE, Miss St. 6'6" 242 LBS. Watched Sweat vs. Arkansas, Ole Miss, Alabama. ~ Tall, long armed EDGE. Uses full length. Hands and feet stay active. Uses outside speed rush to set up an inside move. Is familiar with stunts. Capable of getting skinny to apply pressure. Runs arc a little wide and needs to get lower and bend into the OL more. But the athleticism is there. Can change directions well. Keeps his eyes on the QB. Does a good job holding the edge. Doesn't really shed though. Effort was good. Genuine excitement for teams success. NOT a power move guy. Frame struggles to win leverage wars. Large Guards swallow him up. Didn't see a coverage rep in three games. Overall: Classic long EDGE with a lot of intangibles and athleticism. I'm not positive that any of his game will translate super well to the Pros and I definitely don't see a Pro Bowler. Will watch more of him but this isn't a guy I want to spend a 1st on. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MNPackfan32 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I know we have massive needs on defense, but boy, I would freaking love to see Noah Fant in Green Bay. That size, speed and power would be a very welcome addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Gute takes a WR, TE or IOL in the first round, he is a Vikings fan. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltarich87 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) If they don't draft an EDGE player with one of their 1sts I'll rage. By far their most glaring need. This defense can't get to that next level until they seriously improve the rush. Really that simple.

So an elite TE is worth it, but otherwise I agree with what you're saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeightTheVillain Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 11 minutes ago, Outpost31 said: Name 10 first round tight ends that turned into elite tight ends over the past thirty years. 1. Greg Olsen 2. Vernon Davis 3. Jeremy Shockey 4. Todd Heap 5. Tony Gonzalez Not at all disagreeing about Positional value. Just thought it would be interesting to check out. I don't know anything about football prior to 1990 so I checked back through 18 drafts. Depending on your definition of elite there was probably 5.

MacReady Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Vernon Davis and Todd Heap were never once in their careers elite. Ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
