In that it's not great, but serviceable. Kyle Peko has played 21 games in 3 years for 3 different teams. Billings played in 6 games last year and was a healthy scratch for most of the year. Butler played in 10 games and was a healthy scratch for the Bills in most games. Brandon Parker/Alex Leatherwood have started at RT for us and Elemunor has started at RT for our current staff, lol.

I think he's better than Butler/Billings for sure. Those 2 I don't expect much from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would give us at DT: Hankins who was meh last year and Peko who played in less than half of the Titans games as a situational pass rusher.

NYRaider Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I think the three guys I'm most excited to see in terms of how Graham uses them are Abram, Deablo, and Hobbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 There have been some reports over the last few days that we're interested in Suh, would love to add him to our DL group. Edge - Crosby | Ferrell IDL - Suh | Hankins | M. Butler IDL - Nichols | Farrell Edge - Jones | Koonce | Fackrell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Ferrell recently hinted that he's moving to OLB so we're likely going to use a 3-4 as our base defense. Looking at Graham's past defenses I think Farrell Jr might actually start sooner rather than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I also think that our lack of urgency pursuing a safety means that Graham has faith in Abram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edge - Crosby | Ferrell IDL - Suh | Hankins | M. Butler IDL - Nichols | Farrell Edge - Jones | Koonce | Fackrell I'm not sure how much is in Suh, but he could be a good scheme fit. He recently played base 3-4 DE with the Bucs and obviously he made his name and fame as a disruptive 4-3 DT. He could be a base RDE or LDT for us and then a 3T DT in sub packages. I doubt it tho...we signed and drafted so many bodies that I think we are set. It is interesting that Ferrell will get a chance at OLB. I thought that he could have a better chance at base RDE, sub DT, but it looks like size matter even more to PG up front then I thought. That EDGE group looks really strong and that could make this D work even without a superstar interior pass rusher. We would still need a guy like Nichols to put up consistent interior pressure, but if the interior can "just" push the middle of the OL, so the QBs can't easily step up in the pocket, then our EDGE terror can get home. Crosby and Jones are as good as any duo in the NFL. The Koonce, Ferrell, Fackrell trio (if we keep 3 depth guy) looks really strong on paper. Koonce could be a really good fit as a speed guy behind Jones for us, while Ferrell can be a solid run defender on the edges. Fackrell can also offer a nice situational element. If Ferrell shows life, Fackrell could be a surprise cut at the end of TC... I will be really interested how the base LDT and RDE spots will look like in OTAs. Who will play where along the interior line... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it tho...we signed and drafted so many bodies that I think we are set. He definitely fits exactly what Graham wants to do as a 3-4 DE. Recent reports have said that us and the Browns are the two most likely destinations for him. And I don't think any of the moves we've made would prevent us from pursuing Suh. The only interior DL we invested into was Nichols with a 2 yr/$11M deal. Hankins, Butler, Peko, and Billings are all on 1 yr/$1M deals, none of them are guaranteed to even make the team. And the guys we drafted were 4th/5th round picks. 4 minutes ago, Rolni said: It is interesting that Ferrell will get a chance at OLB.

Graham loves big DTs that can eat up space but man I hope we get Suh, dude never gets hurt and has 12 sacks over the last two seasons. Imagine getting like 12 sacks from Nichols/Suh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolni Posted May 17, 2022 Author Share Posted May 17, 2022 I would be totally down with a Suh signing! Suh-Hankins-Nichols would be a pretty solid interior DL IMO. Crosby-Suh-Nichols-Jones would be a really strong sub DL too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't surprise me if Farrell takes Hankins starting job because Graham loves huge NT. Plus we'd have two other DL in Suh/Nichols that can generate pressure.

Jerry Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I wonder if Suh wants to play for us. That's the biggest question. Seems like we've always had opportunities to sign him and we never do. Guy is exactly what we need at the DT position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
