Nastradamus Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Beasley is an awful fit here unless they switch defenses IMO. Good rule of thumb is to look for guys who go through blockers not around them. Vic does the latter, if he does anything at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a team devoid of pressure and that relies on versatility, I'd be shocked if he couldn't be deployed in a way that would at least help generate more than what we've been starting at LE.

Millenhater Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 The guy know one is talking about that we need to target is Joe Schobert. This should be our number one guy. Also if snacks retired we should sign reader. Not quite as good as snacks at run d but better pass rusher. 3 down player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenhater Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Also the DT FA class is loaded. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like the draft is very deep at that position so not sure if the market will be low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more so than secondary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like Schobert as well but I am not sure he fits the bigger type of MLB MP prefers. I really think the Lions will sign Bears MLB Nick Kwaikowski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't have Kennard's size even though he's not a terrible rush LB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see him in Christian Jones role on passing downs to rush the passer. If we were to get a new MLB I think Tavai and the FA LB will man the middle. Jones will play on running downs and JD is put in a role he can succeed and be a blitzing off the ball LB on obvious passing downs. I do not think JD will be starting if he is even on the team next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd keep him in the mix and wouldn't give him away for cheap at this point in his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downside is that JD is a liability in the passing game, so if you know he's just a rush LB then you're giving away a key on D. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you have to hope that you can do enough with the other 10 to make his speed a strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true but it is really the only thing he is successful at in the NFL. He may be able to drop in some zone in some 3rd and long situations just to keep the offense guessing a little bit. For the most part though I would have him blitzing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also can sub in at MLB in case of injury, which does help. It does count for something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
