Leader Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Just now, packfanfb said: IMO Ogbah compares more to Z than Preston. Like Z, Ogbah probably slides inside in sub-packages Preston is more of a true EDGE. I think you'll see Z and a guy like Ogbah play a good mix of "hand down vs. hand up" while Preston will be mostly "hand up." Good insight. Part of my thinking about wanting Burns is this "slide inside" idea. I'd read Z was good at it.....wasnt sure about Preston or Ogbah - but the concept is rather than taking one of them out - you slide him inside and bring the heat from the outside.

A pass rush front of P. Smith -- Clark/Daniels - Za'Darius - Burns has the potential to be one of the best in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is - I suspect GB is gonna be satisfied with the FAs and stop there till later round talent shows up. Just a hunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll see us grab either an EDGE of D-lineman if one drops to us at 12. If we fix our pass rush, we are a top 10 defense. BTW, Z. Smith is going to drop down inside in passing situations and rush from the middle. My guess is Clark gets a rest and at this point Fackrell will be the guy opposite P. Smith. That is not super imposing IMO. Another elite EDGE rusher would make it imposing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree.....and with all the A). EDGE guys never make it to FA unless you seriously overpay for them - and - B). Top EDGE guys go off the board quick - I'm hoping such a player drops to us at the highest draft slot we've had since who knows when and we nab him to complete that front DL package. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blankman0021 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/04/01/steelers-release-morgan-burnett/ Burnett is officially released by Steelers after they did not get any trade offers. He'd probably come cheaper than T-Will currently is getting paid. Any interest in that market? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you draft a single high style safety and also hope J.J. takes a big leap this year. Amos will be playing all over the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draft Adderly, put him in center field, and let Amos run around and do his thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our new safety is like a 4.58 guy, but Morgan isn't shiny and new so he must be labeled slow and crappy. Sign me up for 1 more year of Morgan to bridge between now and when our draft pick is ready. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping Burk's light goes on this year. Great athlete but can he "get it"? Get a draft pick safety and if Morgan can be signed for cheap … why not?
