.Buzz Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 This is a good point. If we picked 4th even we were going Allen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhanYouDigIt Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 We didn’t screw up. I’m shocked. tremendous value. Gotta imagine a D-Line if Ngakoue-Bryan-Calais-Allen on third downs. goodnight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Buzz Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Calais, Ramsey, and now Yann reaching out to the young fella. I'm so excited to watch this crew work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tugboat Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Didn't really expect him to be there, but this is a big "don't look a gift horse in the mouth" sort of scenario i think. With Josh Allen, we get a Dante Fowler replacement who is better at rushing the passer as a rotational/situational DE. Figure based on Fowler's usage, that's probably on the field ~half the time. Maybe add a little further bump because he should be better, and Calais is also getting older. So you're a bit over half the total defensive snaps already. Then pad that with the potential to run Allen out there a decent amount at LBer since he actually has some freaky coverage ability for such a big powerful man...and you're pretty much getting "starter snap counts", probably even more than a lot of Interior DLine guys would see. Plus, pretty much inherently gives us some more ~exotic~ looks just in having a guy with that versatility out there in different spots. For the future...at worst, it should give us some insurance for Yan as a FA. Hopefully though, it's just two studs coming off the edge for years to come. Gives us some flexibility schematically for the future too...should they ever decide to move toward more of a 3-4 as well. Plus, obviously Calais is getting older and isn't going to be around forever. I really like this. I'm excited. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Tis why fretting and pulling hair out over late season "tanking" is usually pretty silly tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's absolutely not some puny little "speed only", run the arc or bust guy. He's got strength and some technique too...vs pass and the run. Can probably trust him more at that DE spot against the run as a rookie, than Fowler ever got to here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
